WWE had announced Paul Heyman as its first Hall of Fame inductee of 2024 some time ago. The primary spokesperson of Roman Reigns has been on a roll ever since he became The Wiseman of The Bloodline.

The Heyman and Brock Lesnar duo struck a chord with everyone. Thus, many fans believed that Lesnar would be credited at his HoF induction ceremony.
