WWE has officially announced that Sid Eudy, best known as Sid Vicious, will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the 2026 Legacy Class. The news was confirmed by Triple H, who shared the announcement on social media.
The induction will be posthumous. Eudy passed away on August 26, 2024, at the age of 63 following a battle with cancer.
“No matter which moniker you knew him by, Sid’s intensity was palpable across the ring and through your TV screen,” Triple H wrote. “A multi-time champion in WWE and WCW, and a two-time WrestleMania main event, it’s a pleasure to announce that he will take his rightful place in the 2026 Legacy Class of the WWE Hall of Fame.”
Throughout his career, Sid competed under multiple ring names, including Sid Justice, Sid Vicious, and Sycho Sid. After making his debut in 1982, he rose to prominence in WCW as part of The Skyscrapers alongside Dan Spivey, before joining the iconic The Four Horsemen with Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, and Barry Windham.
He later moved to WWE in 1991 as Sid Justice and headlined WrestleMania VIII against Hulk Hogan. During a subsequent run as Sycho Sid, he captured the WWF Championship in 1996 by defeating Shawn Michaels, and won it again in 1997 from Bret Hart. He also headlined WrestleMania 13 against The Undertaker.
Sid also enjoyed success in WCW, where he became a two-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, including a title win over Kevin Nash in 2000.
His career came to a sudden halt at the WCW Sin pay-per-view in 2001, when he suffered a severe double compound leg fracture in one of the most shocking injury moments in wrestling history. He later made a brief return during the RAW 1000 in 2012 before officially retiring in 2017.
Sid joins a 2026 Hall of Fame class that includes Demolition, AJ Styles, Stephanie McMahon, and Dennis Rodman.
The ceremony will take place during WrestleMania 42 weekend on April 18 and 19 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
