WWE are unhappy with how the 2024 Hall of Fame ceremony came together and the company are considering changes for the 2025 ceremony, according to WrestleVotes.

WrestleVotes said on a Backstage Pass Q&A:

"The only thing I can say is they were not happy with how everything happened last year in Philadelphia…in terms of the size of the crowd that was left even a half hour through. Once Paul Heyman was done speaking last year the majority of the crowd left and WWE was not thrilled with that. I talked to a source that said they couldn't really blame them because the headliner went first. It's the start of a very long weekend for a lot of people so if you can get out of there at 10:30 you're going to take that chance. However, WWE was not thrilled with that so I don't think they want to do that again. So I know they're trying to come up with different ways to present everything, I just don't know what that is yet."

WWE previously held the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony as a separate event but it has been an add-on to the go-home edition of SmackDown before WrestleMania in recent years. The ceremony also previously featured a stage but inductions have taken place in the ring since 2022.

WWE have yet to make an announcement about the 2025 Hall of Fame ceremony. One name optimistic about being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame at some point in the future is Lex Luger. The Total Package is one of several notable omissions from the company's hall of fame.
