The upcoming WWE Hall of Fame ceremony scheduled for WrestleMania 37 week will be a pretaped affair.

This is according to a new report from Fightful Select stating that the show will be recorded on 30 March and 1 April, then broadcast on the WWE Network on 6 April.

On top of this, WWE has made some changes with regards to the Class of 2021. The lineup of inducted wrestlers will be different from that which was originally planned, though there's currently no word on who'll join Molly Holly and Eric Bischoff, whose induction was confirmed by WWE yesterday.

As reported earlier in the week, the Hall of Fame 2021 ceremony will be filmed from the WWE ThunderDome in Tampa, Florida, with fans tuning in virtually, as is the norm on Raw, SmackDown, and pay-per-views at the moment. WWE aims to have as many inductees as possible live on the stage.

WWE will induct the classes of 2020 and 2021 this year. The 2020 ceremony was cancelled at the onset of the global health crisis, but Batista, The Bella Twins, JBL, Jushin 'Thunder' Liger, The British Bulldog, and the nWo will get their day in the sun on 6 April.
