A rumor surfaced earlier this month that Kamala is another name WWE discussed internally for the WWE Hall of Fame. WWE has not yet revealed Kamala for this year’s Hall of Fame induction class. However, the video announcing The Natural Disasters (Earthquake and Typhoon) as Class of 2025 inductees revealed that the announcement was planned one year in advance at the 2024 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.

James Harris sadly passed away in August 2020 at 70 years old from cardiac arrest brought on by COVID-19.
