WWE WrestleMania 40 takes place from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Saturday, April 6, and Sunday, April 7. They will hold the Hall of Fame ceremony on April 5.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that Triple H will be fully in charge of the selection process next year.
Meltzer wrote, “Regarding the Hall of Fame, this year will fall under Levesque for the first time instead of McMahon. It’s likely still the same basic rules regarding women, minorities and characters that the audience would know and those who make sense politically for a variety of reasons. I think Levesque may be a little more open to certain types since he was a fan of more than just WWE but once WWE owned the tape libraries a lot of that stigma was gone. I was told that, for example, if there is a political reason to put someone in that Nick Khan would want, that would be a factor but the Hall of Fame is under creative and that’s Levesque’s department and he’d in theory sign off on everyone.”
