COMPLETE 2019 WWE HALL OF FAME CEREMONY LIVE COVERAGE

By Stuart Carapola on 2019-04-06 22:30:00

Welcome to PWInsider.com's live, ongoing coverage of the WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony!

Our hosts are Byron Saxton and Maria Menounos, and they're checking our the setup tonight while making fun of Byron's Beetlejuice suit.

Charly Caruso catches Shinsuke Nakamura coming into the building, and they talk about how much Nakamura loves New York City.

Kayla Braxton is with Dana Warrior and the Warrior girls, and Dana sees WWE as family, and gives an inspirational speech about being your best.

The Hardys, including Reby, are with Byron and Maria, and Jeff says he can't wait for the Andre Battle Royal, so since Matt won last year, Jeff wants to win this time.  Jeff is looking forward to Harlem Heat going in tonight, and Matt talks about DX transforming the business, and how tag team wrestling is changing the world.

Charly is with Billy and Peyton, and she says they look stunning, and they say they know.  Peyton and Billie are excited to see Torrie go into the Hall of Fame.  They're excited for their match tomorrow and have been working toward this since the day they met.

We're back, and Kayla is with the Lashley family, and Bobby is beaming over his family who get to see him live on the biggest show of the year.

Byron and Maria are with Baron Corbin, and they touch on how much people hate him being Kurt Angle's last opponent, and he hopes to retire Angle a loser.  Maria asks what it's going to look like tomorrow, and Corbin says it's going to be brutal.  I love shoot comments that aren't meant to be shoot comments.  He's not intimidated by Angle, and he's looking forward to DX going in tonight, and credits Billy Gunn helping make him who he is today.

Charly is with Drake Maverick and his fiance Renee, and he enjoys walking around New York City, and he can't wait to celebrate.  He can't wait to see DX go in, and he used to go crotch chop the teachers and his parents when he was a kid.

Kayla is with Ali and his wife, and he's looking forward to the battle royal tomorrow.  He's looking forward to seeing the Hart Foundation go in.

Byron and Maria are with Alexa Bliss, who says being the host means Wrestlemania is all about her.  Byron asks what the plan is, and she can't wait to see the SNL guys in the battle royal.  She hasn't seen them wrestle yet, but she knows Braun Strowman terrified them.  They talk about fashion stuff.

Charly Caruso is with Titus O'Neill, who is joined by his sons and they are really excited to see, and I quote, "Stevie Ray and....uh...uhhh...............Booker."  I think this may be the first recorded instance of "Stevie Ray and that other guy" in history.  They talk about women taking the spotlight, and what path all three of this year's main eventers took to get here.  They're all looking forward to Kofimania tomorrow, and he's going to stand in Gorilla for that, which means nothing to 90% of the people watching this.

Mandy Rose and her mother are here, and they talk about girl time and hanging around town and her mother's new niece.  She's confident as always going into tomorrow.

Byron are with the Usos and Naomi, and they talk about all the great teams going into the Hall of Fame tonight, especially given Booker T helped them get into the business.  Maria admits she's looking forward to Honky Tonk Man and Brutus Beefcake going in.  They talk about their title defense tomorrow, and admit that Byron was their first manager.

Kayla is with Buddy Murphy, who isn't nervous about tomorrow, but is nervous about wearing a white suit.  They admire his buddy's outfit, and he is excited about DX going in.

Charly is with Kalisto, his mask-clad wife, and maskless friend Josh.  He says everyone here looks great.  Gran Metalik comes in and Kalisto translates that Gran Metalik is really just here to party.  He says he's small, sneaky and quick, and then we throw it to Byron and Maria with Paige, and they talk about the movie and working with the Rock.  She was excited about how well it did, and said it was like 95% accurate.  She tells girls to be confident, and let haters be your biggest motivators.  She's excited to see women main eventing, especially Becky Lynch, who she says she's known since they were like 12.  Paige says wants it to be Becky winning tomorrow night, because she's worked so hard for it.

Kayla is with Rey Mysterio ahd Dominick, and she says Dominick has some big shoes to fill (despite Dominick being like two feet taller than his father...are we SURE he wasn't Eddie's?), but Rey says his training has been great and he's looking forward to what he accomplishes.  Rey says he's hurt, but still plans to go forward with the match, and has spent his entire time since getting into New York putting ice on his ankle, and using unspecified "advanced medical technologies" to get his ankle as good as it can be for tomorrow.  He's looking forward to the entire Hall of Fame show tonight.

Charly is with Tony and Elizabeth Nese, and he admits she dressed him tonight.  He's been enjoying the entire weekend, but his focus is on Buddy Murphy tomorrow.  He's looking forward to seeing DX go into the Hall of Fame.

Kayla is with Bobby Roode and his wife, and he talks about possibly facing Chad Gable in the Andre battle royal.

Braun crashes Byron and Maria's segment, and he says he has nothing to do tomorrow.  I love shoot comments that aren't meant to be shoot comments.  He'll crush the SNL guys, Maria has some ideas on how to destroy them, and Braun no-sells Byron's follow-up joke.

The party is on, because FAAROOQ, GODFATHER, AND TEDDY LONG ARE HERE!  Kayla asks them what it's like to be Hall of Famers watching their peers get inducted.  They talk about who they are looking forward to, and Godfather is looking forward to seeing women in the main event of Wrestlemania.  That joke writes itself.

Byron and Maria are with Miz, Maryse, and their respective parents.  Miz says he is fighting for his family this weekend, and Mr. Miz says he never expected his son to accomplish all this, but he's very proud of him.  They ask Miz and Maryse what they talk about in bed (in front of their parents, no less).

Kayla is with Sonya Deville and her girlfriend, and she talks about the bond that will get she and Mandy to the end of the battle royal, then they'll jump off together.

Andrade and Charlotte Flair are here, and this is their coming out party as a couple.  Tomorrow, the main event will show that you can do anything, and they talk about Torrie Wilson going in tonight.

That wraps it up for the red carpet, and the Hall of Fame starts now on Page 2!
