Rumours are beginning to circulate regarding whether or not the former chairman and CEO of WWE, Vince McMahon, will be attending the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame event, after his resignation from his position as executive chairman of TKO Group Holdings (the parent company of WWE), following accusations of sexual assault and trafficking.
As the WWE builds up to the most prestigious event of the year in WrestleMania, the Hall of Fame event has become a regular fixture which takes place the night before the action all gets underway. During the ceremony, the WWE Universe pays tribute to past and present figures within the sport, acknowledging the decades of work that many have poured into the promotion in order to get it to where it is today.
WWE Hall of Fame 2026
On an episode of Raw in February, The Undertaker announced that AJ Styles, who retired from the WWE following his 2026 Royal Rumble loss to Gunther, would be inducted into the Hall of Fame. The tag team of Demolition (consisting of Ax and Smash) would also be inducted.
Former NBA player Dennis Rodman will be inducted due to his involvement with WCW in the late ’90s, with Sid and Bad News Brown included as legacy inductees. An immortal moment will also be included in the Hall of Fame, with Hulk Hogan’s bout against Andre the Giant from WrestleMania III chosen as the memorable match.
Another inductee will be Stephanie McMahon, the daughter of Vince, who held various roles within WWE between 1998 and 2023. This has opened the door to questions about whether her father will attend the ceremony or not.
Vince McMahon’s Status For WWE Hall of Fame Confirmed
Vince McMahon temporarily retired in July 2022 following misconduct allegations surrounding hush-money payments that had been made to a former employee of WWE over an alleged affair. McMahon returned just six months later, but resigned for good in January 2024. This came after a lawsuit was filed by Janel Grant, a former employee at WWE global headquarters between 2019 and 2022. It was alleged that McMahon had coerced her into a sexual relationship and, along with former WWE executive John Laurinaitis and Brock Lesnar, had sexually trafficked and repeatedly sexually assaulted her.
A huge spoiler has emerged just days ahead of WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.
WrestleVotes have reported via Fightful Select that, according to a source with knowledge of the situation, McMahon won’t be in attendance to witness his daughter inducted into the Hall of Fame. And, while there is still time for plans to change, given the nature of his departure, it is unlikely that the WWE will make a U-turn on the decision.
After winning the Premier League, Arsenal are now looking to take their squad to the next level with some star-studded quality on the radar for the summer transfer window.
The Gunners are in the market for a number ten, as recent reports have claimed that Morgan Rogers is a transfer target, having shown plenty of quality in his time playing for Aston Villa and the England national team.
Any move could prove costly, however, meaning that Arsenal and Mikel Arteta could look elsewhere in the market for players who can still bring some attacking quality, but at a different price.
With that in mind, the North London club have seemingly shortlisted another Premier League star, with the Sun reporting interest in the playmaker.
Arsenal Shortlist Morgan Gibbs-White
According to the report from the Sun, Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White has emerged as a potential target for Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
It’s claimed that the 26-year-old is viewed as an alternative to Rogers, with there being some admirers over his talent in the backroom team at the Emirates Stadium.
The attacking midfielder was linked with an exit from Nottingham Forest last summer, as he emerged as an option for rivals Tottenham, coming as an alternative to Eberechi Eze after the Gunners swooped to land him.
While the direction of travel indicated that a switch would be on the cards, Gibbs-White instead signed a new contract at the City Ground, extending his stay until 2028.
That led to another impressive season with Nottingham Forest, even with relegation fears creeping into the Premier League campaign, as he became a surprise omission from the England World Cup squad.
With two years remaining on that contract, there is a possibility that Gibbs-White could be on the move this summer, though Forest appear reluctant to allow that to happen.
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal will put forward a compelling offer or not, as Premier League rivals also consider a switch for the talisman.

Morgan Rogers Vs Morgan Gibbs-White
In Rogers and Gibbs-White, Arsenal have two impressive options who can help break games open more frequently than the team currently does.

Gibbs-White is three years older than Rogers, but is arguably playing in a team that is worse, making his statistics for the season all the more impressive.
What is important for Arsenal is a mixture of age profile, instinctive quality and the dynamics in the squad. The one who ticks the most boxes will be the one who should be on the club’s radar as a priority.
It remains to be seen which of the two they could formalise interest in, but it’s clear that the Gunners have a plan to improve their playmaking abilities.
Former Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen suffered another worrying collapse during Denmark’s vacated friendly match vs Ukraine on Sunday evening, with a health update now emerging. Goals from Patrick Dorgu and Joakim Maehle had put the hosts in front at the Nature Energy Park, but proceedings were abandoned before it could be finished.
Providing a health update, citing the Danish national team, Fabrizio Romano wrote on X (see full post below):
“Danish Federation announce Christian Eriksen is ‘conscious and doing well under the circumstances’. Thoughts and prayers with him.”
Meanwhile, a Denmark football news account wrote on X (see the full post below):
“Christian Eriksen is conscious and doing well under the circumstances. The match has been called off.”
Tottenham are closing in on another potential arrival in the summer transfer window, with Italian journalist Nico Schira reporting that an agreement in principle has been reached on personal terms with one target.
While the defensive ranks have been a clear area of focus, the next priority is the forward areas, with an agreement reached for one potential arrival.
Now, Schira has reported via X that an agreement in principle has been reached between Tottenham and Savinho on the terms of a contract that will last until 2031.
The journalist claims that Roberto De Zerbi is keen on the 22-year-old, who has been described as “gifted” for his performances so far with City after costing them £30m.
All that is left is for a club-to-club agreement to be reached, before putting the finishing touches on the contract talks to secure yet another high-profile arrival.
That may get Tottenham closer to where they want to be, adding a player with Premier League quality and potential to grow even further in the future.

Pep Guardiola On Savinho

In Savinho, Tottenham could have an ideal one-on-one winger, who is capable of driving the team forward and making things happen in the final third.
It’s something Spurs have been lacking in recent seasons, not least due to injuries in the forward areas, but the Brazilian forward could provide that in bucket loads.
There are question marks over his end product, having scored just seven goals for Man City since joining the club, but that clinical edge is all that is missing so far.
It was something Pep Guardiola touched on earlier this season, when he said: “What I like from Savinho is always he is digging, go, go, go, all the time.
