The Rock is the Frontrunner
BEO betting odds indicate that The Rock is the frontrunner to induct John Cena into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Wrestling fans would likely love to see John Cena and The Rock on stage one last time, as the pair had an entertaining rivalry during the early 2010s.
Many will likely remember the epic WrestleMania main event matches between them in 2012 and 2013, which are regarded as some of the best in the WWE’s history.
However, fans will need to wait to see if John Cena will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and who inducts him.
Randy Orton is a Strong Contender
Randy Orton is a favorite to induct John Cena into the WWE Hall of Fame next year.
It would make sense, as the 14-time champion played a huge role in the wrestler-turned-actor’s career, serving as his greatest rival throughout the years.
Also, despite being rivals on screen, the pair are reportedly good friends away from the camera.
Randy Orton inducting John Cena would be a huge moment for wrestling fans and a heartwarming way for the latter to end an exceptional career.
Stephanie McMahon Might Finish What She Started
John Cena arguably has Stephanie McMahon to thank for his WWE success. After discovering his rapping ability at the start of his career, she helped shape his hip-hop- inspired image that proved popular with fans.
What’s more, she was known for being a big supporter of Cena, helping him become a 16-time World Champion at the WWE.
As a result, it would likely be a huge honor for Stephanie McMahon to induct John Cena into the Hall of Fame this year.
Kurt Angle is a Dark Horse
As John Cena is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, it is likely a big name will induct him into the prestigious Hall of Fame. For this reason, Kurt Angle is a likely candidate to do so in 2026.
The two famous wrestlers have a history, as Cena fought Angle in the former’s WWE debut, as he didn’t hesitate to accept his opponent’s open challenge on SmackDown.
Plus, Cena inducted Kurt Angle into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2017, meaning it would be fitting for Angle to return the favor in 2025.
However, Angle believes others might be more worthy of the honor. He recently said, “There are a lot of people that deserve to induct John. Randy Orton, who was his biggest nemesis, but Stephanie McMahon. Don’t forget she discovered his rapping ability and was a big fan of him. She really supported him quite often, but no, listen, I would be quite honored to induct John Cena.”
