Dennis Rodman will have another Hall of Famer added to his resume.
The five-time NBA champion was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011, and 15 years later, another accomplishment looms on the horizon.
ESPN reported that Rodman will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame next month during WrestleMania week in Las Vegas.

Rodman had one of the most infamous appearances in the wrestling business in 1998 when he skipped an NBA Finals practice to appear in WCW as part of the nWo with Hulk Hogan. His Chicago Bulls fined him $20,000 for his absence.
The appearance was a promotion for a tag team match the following month between Rodman and Hogan and Diamond Dallas Page and Karl Malone, whose Utah Jazz lost the NBA Finals to Rodman and the Bulls.

This was one of Rodman’s many appearances in wrestling and the second time he appeared alongside Hogan in a match. He last appeared in a ring in 2023 at All Elite Wrestling. Oddly enough, he has never appeared in a WWE ring.
Rodman will be inducted along with Stephanie McMahon, AJ Styles and Demolition. Other sports figures inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame include Pete Rose, Mike Tyson, Bob Uecker, William “The Fridge” Perry, Mr. T and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
