WWE.com reported on Feb. 7 that the next inductee into the 2015 WWE Hall of Fame class would be announced on the Feb. 9 edition of “Monday Night Raw.”
WWE Tag Team The Usos have spoiled the announcement, revealing on Twitter that their father Rikishi will be the one inducted.

Rikishi is a former WWE Intercontinental Champion and Tag Team Champion with Scotty 2 Hotty. He also had a run with Samu as a member of the Headshrinkers, winning the World Tag Team Championship.
His last appearance on “Monday Night Raw” was when he reunited with Scotty 2 Hotty and Grandmaster Sexay of Too Cool to wrestle 3MB.
It’s assumed that both Jimmy and Jey Uso will be doing the induction.
Editor’s Note
He was one of the more popular superstars during the Attitude era. I can justify this induction. Rikishi had a long and prosperous run with many gimmicks that all worked out.
