Ric Flair claims that Dennis Rodman personally asked him to do the honors on the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. The previous NBA star entered the celebrity wing this 12 months and was ultimately inducted by Kevin Nash and Sean Waltman, who were his Latest World Order (nWo) partners during his WCW days.
During a recent appearance on “The Ariel Helwani Show,” Flair revealed that Rodman called and requested him as his inductor, and Flair passed that message along to WWE’s decision-makers but never heard anything back.
The Nature Boy said, “Dennis Rodman called me and said, ‘Will you induct me into the Hall of Fame?’ I sent it to the facility that be, ‘Dennis wants (me to induct him).’ I never got a call back. I’m very blissful for Kevin and Sean. I never got a call back.”
Flair also mentioned elsewhere in the identical interview that he believes he was not invited to WrestleMania 42, following an incident involving Ludwig Kaiser before WrestleMania 41.
