Tag Team Announced for WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2025

The WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2025 just got a whole lot heavier — literally. On Monday morning, WWE officially announced that The Natural Disasters — Earthquake and Typhoon — are being inducted during WrestleMania 41 weekend in Las Vegas.

“One of the most physically imposing duos in professional wrestling history,” WWE wrote in their statement, “Earthquake (John Tenta) and Typhoon (Fred Ottman), known together as The Natural Disasters, will enter the WWE Hall of Fame as members of the Class of 2025.”

Debuting as a tag team in late 1990, the nearly 900-pound wrecking crew dominated WWE’s tag division during the early ‘90s, going toe-to-toe with legendary teams like Money Inc., The Legion of Doom, and The Nasty Boys. They also held the WWE Tag Team Titles and once aligned with none other than Andre the Giant himself.

Earthquake, remembered as a “gentle giant” backstage, had an impressive athletic background, competing in both football and wrestling at LSU before becoming a sumo champion in Japan. His feud with Hulk Hogan during WWE’s golden era remains one of the most memorable rivalries of the time. Sadly, he passed away in 2006, but his legacy lives on through this well-earned Hall of Fame nod.

Typhoon, on the other hand, carved his own path through Championship Wrestling from Florida, where he won the heavyweight title. He also happens to be wrestling royalty — Dusty Rhodes’ former brother-in-law and the uncle of current Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.

With Lex Luger, Triple H, Michelle McCool, and now The Natural Disasters confirmed for the 2025 Hall of Fame, WWE is stacking this year’s class with legends who shaped the industry. The ceremony is expected to be a major part of WrestleMania 41 weekend, with a possible shift from Friday to Thursday night to better fit the event schedule.
