WWE has announced their Hall of Fame inductees for this year, and Bray Wyatt's name isn't on the list. 

This year's WWE Hall of Fame will mark the first year after TKO's takeover. It will also be the first class that is chosen without any input from Vince McMahon.

Wyatt's absence from this year's WWE Hall of Fame induction may be linked to the upcoming documentary "Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal," which will give his career an incredible spotlight. His new documentary will make its Peacock debut on April 1.

Bray Wyatt's WWE Hall of Fame Absence

Bray Wyatt was once thought to be a lock for this year's WWE Hall of Fame, but that isn't happening this year.

In the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that sources indicated that the decision to hold off on Bray Wyatt's WWE Hall of Fame induction may have influenced Wyatt's documentary.

It was reported that Bray Wyatt's documentary, "had something to do with the decision not to induct Wyatt into the Hall of Fame this year, that this year they were doing the big documentary for him and would induct him later."

WWE reportedly has plans to induct him at a later date. It was not noted when he will receive this honor.

Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal

The new Peacock project, a documentary titled "Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal," set to premiere on April 1st, is receiving a big spotlight.

The Undertaker is slated to provide narration for the documentary. Interviews have been conducted with Wyatt's family, as well as with such names like Hulk Hogan, John Cena, Becky Lynch, Triple H, Alexa Bliss, and Bo Dallas, along with archival footage from various points in his career.

WWE owns every moment of Bray Wyatt's time in a pro wrestling ring. He did not appear for any other company during the time between his 2021 release and his Extreme Rules 2022 comeback. The documentary is also set to include a lot of candid video footage, which you can see featured in the trailer below.

2024 WWE Hall of Fame

Paul Heyman was revealed as part of the WWE Hall of Fame's class of 2024. The US Express (Mike Rotunda & Barry Windham) and Bull Nakano were also been confirmed. Thunderbolt Patterson joined this year's group along with Muhammad Ali in the celebrity wing.

The Rock will reportedly have a hand in having his grandmother, Lia Maivia, inducted this year as well. It was previously reported that Haku was a strong possibility, but his name has not been announced.

The 2024 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony will air on April 5th after SmackDown, one night before WrestleMania 40 kicks off.
