WWE Hall of Fame 2023: Who will be inducted?

Unlike previous years, there will be fewer inductees to the WWE Hall of Fame for 2023.

Rey Mysterio is the headline name in this year's inductees - and told the New York Post recently that he believed the offer to be included would mean he would have to retire from WWE. That is not the case, however, as he takes on his son Dominik in a match at WrestleMania.

Here is the full list of inductees:

• Rey Mysterio (WWE 2002-2015, 2018-present)
• Stacy Keibler (WWE 2001-2006)
• The Great Muta (NJPW legend, never competed in WWE)
• Tim White (Referee, WWE full-time 1993-2004, posthumous induction)
• Andy Kaufman (Celebrity, posthumous induction)
