Basketball Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman will be enshrined in the WWE Hall of Fame, according to sources who spoke with ESPN’s Shams Charania on Friday.
The five-time NBA champion, best known for his stints with the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls, is scheduled to receive the honor on April 17 in Las Vegas as part of WrestleMania weekend.
Rodman logged four professional wrestling matches, three of them with World Championship Wrestling (WCW). He debuted for WCW in 1997 and famously missed a practice during the 1998 NBA Finals to appear on “WCW Monday Nitro,” where he teamed with Hulk Hogan to set up a tag match against Diamond Dallas Page and Karl Malone.
The WWE Hall of Fame’s celebrity wing has previously inducted sports figures such as Pete Rose, William Perry, Bob Uecker, Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali.
Rodman was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011.
