WWE Moves Hall of Fame Ceremony to Las Vegas for 2025

LAS VEGAS, Nevada — WWE has announced that the 2025 Hall of Fame Ceremony will take place at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Friday, April 18, 2025, instead of the typical venue following SmackDown. This shift aims to accommodate fans attending WrestleMania weekend events, offering them a better experience.

Traditionally, WWE held the Hall of Fame ceremony after SmackDown in the same location, resulting in many fans leaving early due to exhaustion ahead of the two-night stadium shows. WWE officials recognized this issue and sought a new approach for 2025’s festivities.

The event will be held at the BleauLive Theater, a state-of-the-art space featuring 90,000 square feet. Scheduled to start at 10 p.m. Pacific Time, the event will showcase the inductees for the Hall of Fame class of 2025, including Paul 'Triple H' Levesque, Michelle McCool, and Lex Luger. Additional inductees will be announced in the coming weeks.

Ticket sales will begin with a presale opportunity on March 12 at 11 a.m. ET, followed by a general sale on March 14 at 11 a.m. ET. Fontainebleau Las Vegas, as the official host hotel of WrestleMania 41, is offering discounts of up to 30% for fans during this weekend.

WWE’s partnership with Fontainebleau is expected to enhance the overall WrestleMania experience, providing fans with opportunities such as exclusive Meet & Greet sessions and priority seating through WWE’s Official Fan Hospitality Partner, On Location.

Earlier in May 2024, WWE confirmed that WrestleMania 41 would take place at Allegiant Stadium, continuing a trend of hosting major events in Las Vegas. Additional programming, including SmackDown, Raw, and NXT events, will occur at the T-Mobile Arena, along with a five-day interactive fan experience called WWE World at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The Hall of Fame Ceremony will stream live in the U.S. on Peacock, making it accessible for fans unable to attend in person. As the date approaches, more details about the event and its inductees are anticipated.
