(Updated at 7:45pm) More Backstage Details on WWE Announcing Major WWE Hall of Fame Name Tonight, Mainstream Media Coverage & More

wwe hall of fameWWE will be announcing that the Macho Man Randy Savage will be the first name announced into the 2015 WWE Hall of Fame class.

WWE is also hyping Savage as the likely name via the company’s various social media outlets.

The announcement is expected to take place on Raw tonight.

Furthermore, TMZ has picked up on the news of Savage being the likely first 2015 Hall of Fame name, and Savage’s name has been trending worldwide on social media since the news broke.

While WWE’s original plans were to wait until the beginning of February to announce the first Hall of Fame name, tickets for the ceremony go on-sale this Saturday, so the decision was likely made to announce a big name tonight to help with ticket sales.

More details are surfacing that WWE is revealing this big announcement tonight due to the lack of ratings over the past few months. With the Ohio State and Oregon National Championship game tonight, WWE wanted to have something big for the show tonight to counter ESPN’s expected huge ratings.
