Randy Savage WWE HOF Announcement Tonight on "RAW"

We may be on the verge of getting one of the biggest stars in the history of professional wrestling confirmed for an induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.

According to a report by TMZ.com, ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage could be announced as the latest WWE Hall of Fame entrant as soon as the Jan. 12 edition of “Monday Night Raw.”

Per the report:

“Oooooh yeaaah … “Macho Man” Randy Savage is FINALLY going to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame … TMZ Sports has learned.”

“Sources tell us … the WWE is expected to make the official announcement on “Raw” tonight.”

“It’s unclear why the WWE has waited so long to enshrine Savage, who passed away in 2011 — especially since he’s one of the most famous wrestlers of all time.”

“In fact, Stone Cold Steve Austin even confronted Vince McMahon about it last month — with Vince promising Savage would be inducted in the near future.”

“Now, McMahon is proving he’s a man of his word — we’re told the official induction ceremony will go down in Santa Clara, CA the day before WrestleMania 31.”

“The cream rises to the top.”

Savage is a two-time WWE Champion and four-time WCW Champion. His match with Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat at WrestleMania 3 is highly-regarded as one of the greatest bouts of all-time.

Update: WWE’s Twitter account has confirmed the news that Savage will be the first inductee into the 2015 WWE Hall of Fame class.
