Demolition to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2026

One of the greatest tag teams of all-time will make history once again as Ax and Smash of Demolition enter the WWE Hall of Fame as members of the Class of 2026, as announced by The Undertaker.

Two words described the ultimate goal of Demolition — pain and destruction.

Clad in black leather and spikes, Ax and Smash steamrolled into WWE from Parts Unknown in the late 1980s and made it painfully clear that they were going to demolish any team that stood in their path.

The pair bulldozed through the tag team division and captured the World Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania IV, starting one of the most iconic title runs in history.

Ax and Smash dominated WWE as champions for the next 478 days, a record that stood for 28 years until it was surpassed by The New Day’s 484-day tenure in 2015-16.

Synonymous with tag team greatness, Ax and Smash now enter the Hall of Fame where their legacy will live forever.

Demolition joins Stephanie McMahon and AJ Styles as the currently announced members for this year’s WWE Hall of Fame class.
