WrestleMania 40 is drawing closer with each passing day and WWE is trying its best to intrigue fans regarding the WrestleMania week in Philadelphia. A few days ago, Paul Heyman‘s induction into the Hall of Fame batch of 2024 was officially announced. And now, the promotion has revealed another name for its fans to see ahead of the event.

WWE announces another wrestling industry legend for HoF

This time around, the Stamford-based company has chosen to induct a wrestling legend who is not only familiar with the WWE Universe but also with the Japanese pro wrestling industry. The former superstar in question is none other than Bull Nakano, who debuted in WWE in 1986 and had appearances in the American promotion even several years later. Nakano became even more familiar to American pro wrestling fans when she feuded with Alundra Blayze in 1994 in the Stamford-based company.

As her WWE Alumni page claims, Bull Nakano never fit into the ‘diva’ category because of her gimmick and appearance. However, she won over the fans using her unique way of impressing everyone. Most of her recognized work took place while she was still running in Japanese promotions. However, WWE also wanted to honor her this year, including her with the batch of 2024.
