Reigns said for once Heyman will make his way out to talk about himself. He says he loves his "Wise Man." He recalled Heyman saying all he needed was to believe in himself. He said the moment he isn't with Heyman will mark the end of the "Tribal Chief" era.

Heyman made his way out to accept his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2024.

Fans chanted "you deserve it," and Heyman responded by saying, "you damn f****** right I deserve it." He said he asked Rob Van Dam for advice on how to speak as himself, and Rob offered him a joint instead. He shouted out his family, as well as CM Punk.

Heyman gave Paul "Triple H" Levesque his due as a leader, and praised him for giving talent creative freedom. He said he will forever be a Paul Levesque guy, and the two embraced. He also praised Stephanie McMahon.

Heyman told his children that if anyone messes with them, they are two seats down from Haku. He said it's about be worthy of people's respect and pursuing your dreams. He said it's about failing 101 times to succeed.

Heyman said he wishes his mother and father were here to see his Hall of Fame induction. He also told Cody Rhodes he wishes his father Dusty was here to see it as well. He said he's done with the "mushy s***" and he's ready to talk about ECW.

Heyman pulled out a box and inside was a headset, a leather jacket, and his classic phone used in WCW. He also pulled out his classic ECW hat. He said ECW never truly died. He said no matter how many times the world tries to cancel him he always comes back.

Heyman signed off by saying he's just getting started.

Second Inductee: Bull Nakano

Alundra Blayze made her way out to induct Nakano. She said that Bull was a revolution and said her presence electrified any room she entered. She praised her time with Bull inside the ring and their battles highlighted their hard-hitting style.

Nakano was then introduced for her induction. She said she's been waiting a long time. Nakano talked about her rough schedule on the road, and admitted she had a difficult time even getting to the venues due to a language barrier. She said friends within the industry helped her get through her American tours.

"Thank you, Bull" chants rained down. She thanked Alundra Blayze for being her in-ring rival and friend. She thanked the WWE Universe and got emotional over the warm welcome she received and for getting to be Bull Nakano once again.

Third Inductee: Muhammad Ali

The Undertaker made his way out for Ali's induction. He said only Ali can hold the distinction of being the greatest professional boxer of all time. He called Ali a legend amongst legends. He said it's an honor to induct Ali in this year's Hall of Fame, and he welcomed Lonnie Ali to accept the induction.

Lonnie said Ali continues to inspire the current generation. She said Muhammad Ali loved people and they loved him right back. She said it could be argued that Ali was the original global sports entertainer. She said Ali would've been honored to be here tonight, and she thanked fans for honor him. Lonnie recalled The Rock asking Ali permission to use "The People's Champion" nickname.

Lonnie honored The Rock by giving him a special People's Champion title. The Rock appeared to accept the championship and he played up the fans booing him. He thanked Lonnie and said Muhammad Ali was one of his heroes.

Fourth Inductee: The U.S. Express

Fifth Induction: Thunderbolt Patterson

Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods of The New Day made their entrance. Big E paid tribute to Thunderbolt Patterson's promo style. They said if it wasn't for Patterson paving the way for black wrestlers, they wouldn't have reached the level of success that they obtained.

Scott Spears was out with Patterson, and he called Thunderbolt the Jackie Robinson of wrestling. Thunderbolt chants echoed throughout the Wells Fargo Center. Thunderbolt said a prayer and he thanked God. He said he was always taught what you thought and what you said comes back to you. He asked for an Amen, and he got one from the fans in Philly.

Thunderbolt said it's time to start treating people the way you want to be treated. He thanked Gerald Brisco for the role he played in his career. He said he wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the Lord and good people entering his life. He urged people to stop playing the race card and fulfill their purpose.

Sixth Inductee: Lia Maivia

The Rock made his way out to induct his grandmother into the WWE Hall of Fame. He said his grandmother changed the industry that was previously dominated by men. The Rock then turned his attention to Cody Rhodes. He said when it comes to the Rhodes family, he has nothing by respect to Dusty and "Mama Rhodes." He said the night 1 main event of WrestleMania 40 isn't business, it's personal.

He asked his mother to stand up, and he called her the real "Final Boss." He thanked Philadelphia and his late grandmother.
