The ceremony took place on April 5, 2024, at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the night preceding WrestleMania XL.

Paul Heyman, Bull Nakano, The U.S. Express (Barry Windham and Mike Rotunda), Lia Maivia, Muhammad Ali, and Thunderbolt Patterson were among the inductees.

[3] WWE had proposed the induction to Heyman in the past, but he declined, arguing he was an active worker.

However, he accepted in 2024 due to WrestleMania taking place in Philadelphia, the home of his previous company, Extreme Championship Wrestling, the assets of which WWE acquired in 2003.

[4] The next day, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H announced former WWF Women's Champion, Bull Nakano, as the second inductee.
