Luger is at a loss for words about the honor.
The third name to be announced for the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame class was Lex Luger. The news was broken to him by Cody Rhodes in the middle of a workout with Diamond Dallas Page.
To discuss the honor, Luger returned to Busted Open. He became emotional while speaking about it and said he’s at a loss for words.
Hey, hey, guys. How about it? Man. I’m floating on a euphoric cloud nine of love and congratulatory — swimming in it. It’s unbelievable.
I just went back in time (when I got the news I was being inducted into WWE Hall of Fame). If you would have told me 20 years ago, ‘Do you want anything to do with the wrestling business ever again?’ At the place I was in, I’d almost given up it would ever happen but, to go from there, 20 years later to being announced in the Hall of Fame… I’m at a loss for words. That’s for sure.
He had been speaking highly of DDP and then the question of who would he like to induct him arose. It was mentioned that Luger said in the past that he’d like for Sting to do it. Luger shared that he’s suggested the idea of two people inducting him.
Well… A couple people have been discussed (to induct me into WWE Hall of Fame) and so, I’m kind of going for… I go, ‘You guys ever had a doubleheader?’ I’m not long-winded. So when I speak, I’ll be a few minutes so, maybe more than one guy? Kind of up there with me at least?
So, yeah, I have two guys in mind and it’s kind of going up through the chain of command with some various people so, we shall see. Stay tuned.
After his in-ring retirement in 2024, Sting signed a multi-year licensing deal with All Elite Wrestling. He last appeared for the company at All In at Wembley Stadium.
