It's been a long time coming, but WWE has announced today that The Undertaker will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. That takes place on April 1, and there's no getting around the fact that the Deadman's incredible career has had an indelible effect on the wrestling industry and led to countless unforgettable moments for fans. He's a Legend and this will simply further cement that.

The Undertaker will appear on The TODAY Show tomorrow morning to discuss his WWE Hall of Fame induction, and the company no doubt hopes this will increase ticket sales for WrestleMania.

The Phenom's final match was at WrestleMania in 2020 in the cinematic Boneyard match that saw him defeat AJ Styles. He would later officially retire at Survivor Series later that same year. 

Here's the full press release from WWE:

THE UNDERTAKER TO BE INDUCTED INTO WWE HALL OF FAME

STAMFORD, Conn., February 18, 2022 – WWE today announced that The Undertaker will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame at a ceremony on Friday, April 1 at American Airlines Center in Dallas as part of WrestleMania Week.  The event will stream live exclusively on Peacock in the U.S. and WWE Network everywhere else.

In addition, for the first time in history, WWE will present both Friday Night SmackDown and the 2022 WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony live on the same night at American Airlines Center, giving all fans in attendance an unprecedented opportunity to witness both events for one price. Tickets for the special 2 for 1 SmackDown + Hall of Fame go on sale this Tuesday, February 22 at 10 AM CT via Ticketmaster.  Additional 2022 WWE Hall of Fame inductees will be announced in the near future.

The Undertaker is one of the most popular Superstars in WWE history and a pop culture icon.  After making his WWE debut at the 1990 Survivor Series, "The Phenom" went on to hold nearly every major Championship in WWE and has competed in some of the most memorable matches in history over his illustrious 30-year career. In addition, The Undertaker amassed a historic consecutive 21-year WrestleMania undefeated streak that may never be broken.

In 2020, The Undertaker was featured in the WWE Network docuseries Undertaker: The Last Ride, which was praised by both fans and critics and made his "Final Farewell" at Survivor Series. The Undertaker continues to make appearances outside the ring, most recently appearing in Netflix’s Escape The Undertaker.

WrestleMania 38, the most stupendous two-night WrestleMania in history, takes place Saturday, April 2 and Sunday, April 3 live from AT&T Stadium in Dallas.  Tickets are currently on sale via Seatgeek.com.
