Earlier today, the WWE Network sent a WrestleMania week email to subscribers advertising the streaming service’s full schedule and, in the process, confirmed this year’s entrant into the Hall of Fame’s celebrity wing – rapper/actor Snoop Dogg, who has been a longtime fan of the company and has been a part of WWE television broadcasts in the past.
Snoop made a memorable appearance at WrestleMania XXIV, where he served as the Master of Ceremonies for the evening’s Playboy Bunnymania Lumberjack match between the teams of Maria and Ashley Massaro and Beth Phoenix and Melina. After the match, Snoop clotheslined Maria’s jealous ex-boyfriend, Santino Marella, and kissed the Playboy covergirl. He returned to WWE as Raw guest host on October 19, 2009, where a scuffle with Chavo Guerrero saw Snoop take the former Cruiserweight Champion down with a clothesline and a tackle.
While there is no word yet as to who will induct Snoop Dogg into the Hall of Fame, current WWE diva (and co-number one contender to the Divas’ Championship) Sasha Banks is Snoop’s cousin and could fill the slot in ideal fashion.
