The Beautiful People Announced For TNA Hall of Fame Class Of 2025

TNA Wrestling is giving some long-overdue flowers to one of its most iconic factions. Angelina Love and Velvet Sky — best known together as The Beautiful People — have officially been announced for the 2025 TNA Hall of Fame. The duo will join Mickie James in this year’s class of inductees.

The reveal came via TNA’s X page, where company president Carlos Silva surprised Love and Sky with the news during an interview conducted by Tommy Dreamer. Both women were caught off guard by the announcement, with emotions quickly taking over. Sky, fighting back tears, said the honor “meant the world” to them.

Love and Sky first hit the TNA scene in 2007, initially working as a tag team before turning heel and introducing fans to The Beautiful People. The faction went on to become one of the most recognizable and talked-about groups in Knockouts history, with members like Madison Rayne, Lacey Von Erich, and even Billy Gunn (as “Cute Kip”) rotating in and out over the years. Still, it was Love and Sky who remained the heart and soul of the act.

The group originally split in 2011 but has reunited multiple times since, with their name and legacy continuing to hold weight in women’s wrestling.

Their official induction will go down October 12 at Bound For Glory in Lowell, Massachusetts. TNA has yet to confirm whether more names will be added to the 2025 Hall of Fame class, though the company has traditionally kept inductions small — sometimes even honoring just one person per year. Last year saw Rhyno and late TNA co-founder Bob Ryder take their place in the Hall.

With Mickie James, Angelina Love, and Velvet Sky all locked in, this year’s ceremony is shaping up to be one of the most impactful in TNA Hall of Fame history.

AJ Styles – ‘It Was My Decision To Turn Down TNA Hall Of Famer Offer’

AJ Styles has clarified some recent reports that WWE passed on the opportunity to have him be inducted into the 2024 TNA Hall of Fame.

Rhino and Bob Ryder were inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame prior to Saturday night’s Bound for Glory pay-per-view event. There were other names that were being discussed, including Styles and Monty Brown.

Taking to Twitter on Monday, the Phenomenal One revealed that it was his decision to not accept the offer. He wrote,

“I’m still an active wrestler…I hope. I made the decision not to go into the TNA HOF, not WWE. I appreciate TNA, but I don’t want to go into any HOF as long as I’m still active. My choice”

Styles is currently sidelined due to a mid-foot ligament sprain.
