It appears Tyson, Yokozuna and Edge will be on the HOF broadcast Monday.

They aired a nice video on Yokozuna.

The Usos. They said they are proud and honored to do this for their family. They said Samoans are no strangers to this business and talked about the famous members of their family. They said that there was only one and the first to be WWE champion, their uncle Yokozuna.

They were only five or six at the time he debuted on TV. They were told their Uncle was on TV and ran in and saw him and said...He's Japanese and we are Samoan. He said what you saw on TV was the opposite of who he was in real life, Uncle Rodney was someone who loved to laugh.

They introduced Rikishi with members of Yokozuna's family to accept. He said he was so happy to be here with everyone. He said it is his humble honor to accept this award for his family and a son of Samoa.

He said that Yokozuna was born into wrestling. It was his blood and his passion. He could go through stats and accomplishments to finishing moves. He said that he hailed from one of the most dedicated families in the wrestling business. He said the dynasty lives on today and it is unreal that one family has produced so many talents over so many years.

Rikshi talked of Yokozuna's skill and heart. He said that a Yokozuna was the highest title in sumo and now Rodney has that title as a WWE Hall of Famer.

He congratulated Yokozuna's family. He said that on behalf of the whole world, they miss him and they love him.
