Lex Luger Says WWE Hasn’t Approved Sting and DDP for Hall of Fame Induction Yet

Lex Luger is finally getting his flowers with a WWE Hall of Fame induction in 2025—but his dream moment may not go exactly the way he hopes. While Luger wants both Sting and Diamond Dallas Page to stand by his side during his induction, he doesn’t know if it’ll be allowed.

In a new interview with Bill Apter, Luger opened up about the holdup behind the scenes. “They were asking me about who could induct me and I said, obviously, DDP has been working with me so much in the past and I’d love for him to be out there,” Luger said. “But I go, ‘Have you ever had two guys out there for somebody?’”

For Luger, it’s not just symbolic—it’s also practical. “They can spot me, so if I try walking and I start to fall, I can have my two best buddies spot me on my shoulders. There is your money shot. Sting on one side, Dallas on the other making sure I don’t fall.”

He added that WWE didn’t shoot the idea down immediately, but it’s still stuck in limbo. “I ran it by WWE guys, Triple H’s right-hand man, ‘Oh, I know what you’re going to ask. I’ll have to run that up the flag pole. I don’t know.’ I haven’t had an answer back,” Luger explained.

And there’s another complication—Sting is under contract with AEW. “WWE may allow them up there, but he’d also have to have permission from Tony Khan and AEW. There is a lot of moving parts there,” Luger admitted.

Before AEW Dynasty, Tony Khan was asked about Sting possibly appearing at the Hall of Fame and responded that he’d need to talk to the legend about it first. So far, there’s been no official word on whether it’ll happen.

“Ideally, obviously, I would love to see both of those guys up there with me,” Luger said. “That would be huge for me and be special for the fans.”

Will Sting and DDP be allowed to give Lex Luger the moment he wants—or will red tape and company politics get in the way?
