Tag Team Announced For The 2022 WWE Hall Of Fame Class

Two brothers are going into the hall.

This Friday night is the 2022 WWE Hall Of Fame induction ceremony. We already know that The Undertaker, Vader, Sharmell, and Shad Gaspard will all be celebrated during the event. Now we know what tag team will be inducted this year as well.

WWE announced Monday morning via The Ringer that Rick and Scott, The Steiner Brothers, will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. The Steiners as a team are one of the most decorated and celebrated tag teams of the late 80s and early to mid-90s. The two won gold six times in WCW, two times in the WWF, and once in the NWA. In 1990 and 1993 they were named the tag team of the year. They even won a few matches of the year awards as a team as well in the early 90s.

WWE wrote the following on The Steiner Brothers being inducted,

The Steiner Brothers will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame’s Class of 2022. As first announced by David Shoemaker on TheRinger.com, Rick & Scott Steiner will be enshrined in the hallowed hall during the 2022 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony as part of WrestleMania Week.

The WWE Hall of Fame at a ceremony will take place this Friday, April 1 at American Airlines Center in Dallas as part of WrestleMania Week. The event will stream live exclusively on Peacock in the U.S. and WWE Network everywhere else. In addition, for the first time in history, WWE will present both Friday Night SmackDown and the 2022 WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony live on the same night at American Airlines Center, giving all fans in attendance an unprecedented opportunity to witness both events for one price. Tickets for the special 2-for-1 SmackDown + Hall of Fame are now available via Ticketmaster.

The most successful of tag teams must be completely in synch and possess an ability to almost read each other’s thoughts. Arguable no one can find that level of connection better than family. Enter celebrated University of Michigan alumni Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner, sibling competitors who donned on the headgear (and/or mullet) and introduced an innovative in-ring style that helped them fight their way to the top of the mountain.

The Steiner Brothers first joined forces in 1989 and grew to become the face of tag team excellence as one of sports-entertainment’s most celebrated tag teams. Together, Rick and Scott lit up NWA Mid-Atlantic and NWA/WCW where they used their impressive mix of amateur and professional wrestling to capture the WCW Tag Team Titles seven times and the United States Tag Team Titles once. Their success was not entirely limited to the Atlanta-based organization, however. During their brief time in WWE in the early ’90s, the pair quickly made history by appearing on the first episode of Monday Night Raw in 1993, battling The Headshrinkers on The Grandest Stage of Them All at WrestleMania IX and winning the WWE Tag Team Championship twice. Following a short tenure with ECW in 1995, The Steiners then returned to WCW in 1996 and their impact was undeniable as they battled elite opposition like Harlem Heat and The Outsiders for the WCW Tag Team Titles.

Don’t miss when The Steiners take their place in sports-entertainment history during the 2022 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony this Friday, streaming live exclusively on Peacock in the U.S. and WWE Network everywhere else.

As stated above, The Steiner Brother will join The Undertaker, Vader, and Sharmell as members of the 2022 Hall Of Fame class. Shad Gaspard will also be the recipient of the Warrior Award.
