Dennis Rodman will have another Hall of Fame entry added to his resume.
The five-time NBA champion was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011, and 15 years later, another achievement is on the horizon.
ESPN reported that Rodman will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame next month during WrestleMania week in Las Vegas.

Rodman had one of the most infamous appearances in the wrestling business back in 1998 when he skipped an NBA Finals practice to appear on WCW as part of the nWo with Hulk Hogan. His Chicago Bulls fined him $20,000 for the absence.
The performance was a promo for a tag team match the next month between Rodman and Hogan and Diamond Dallas Page and Karl Malone, if the Utah Jazz lost the NBA Finals to Rodman and the Bulls.

It was one of several wrestling appearances for Rodman, and the second time he appeared alongside Hogan in a match. He last appeared in a ring in 2023 at All Elite Wrestling. Oddly, he has never appeared in a WWE ring.
Rodman will be inducted alongside Stephanie McMahon, AJ Styles and Demolition. Other sports figures to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame include Pete Rose, Mike Tyson, Bob Uecker, William “The Fridge” Perry, Mr. T and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
