UPDATE: While the original press release for the event listed the start time for 8 p.m. PT, it has since been changed to say that the Hall of Fame will begin at 10 p.m. in Las Vegas. This story has been updated to reflect that change.
The time and location for WWE’s 2025 Hall of Fame ceremony are set.
The Class of 2025 will be inducted at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas on April 18, Friday evening of Wrestlemania weekend, per an announcement made Monday. The show is set to begin at a local time of 10 p.m., shortly after an episode of Smackdown wraps up at the T-Mobile Arena.
The Fontainebleau casino and hotel includes a 3,800-capacity theatre which is mainly used for concerts. The venue is roughly a 15-minute drive from the T-Mobile Arena, meaning those who want to catch both events might miss pieces of either show but could certainly make the trip from one to the other if they’d want.
This year’s Hall of Fame proceedings will be different from the past few years, which would repurpose the venue Smackdown was being taped in for the ceremony – removing ropes from the ring and turning it into a for inductions.
While the recent tradition of hosting the Hall of Fame after Smackdown will continue, the events will get different locations this year.
The 2025 Hall of Fame class is currently expected to include Paul Levesque, Lex Luger, and Michelle McCool.
