Legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne was inducted into the WWE HOF at last week's taping.
Having appeared in a WWE Hall of Fame commercial during last week’s episode of SmackDown, it’s now been confirmed that Ozzy Osbourne will be going into the HOF when this year’s ceremony airs on Tuesday.
As per the Wrestling Observer, Osbourne was part of the induction of the 2020 and 2021 classes that was taped last week. Rather that be in attendance for the Hall of Fame ceremony, the legendary rocker sent in a pre-recorded message of acceptance.
