The WWE usually airs the annual Hall of Fame ceremony the Saturday night before WrestleMania, but in 2017, the company will be doing things a little bit differently. According to the Wrestling News Observer, the Wrestling News Observer reports that the Hall of Fame ceremony will now air on the WWE Network on Friday night, while NXT Takeover will be shown on Saturday night.

The Wrestling News Observer, also says WWE plans to using the same arena for Raw, SmackDown, NXT and the Hall of Fame, and is moving the Hall of Fame ceremony to Friday because of the stage set up.

If WWE held the Hall of Fame on Saturday they would have to set up the arena for a live show on Friday, then switch to a different set up for Saturday, then back to the live set up on Monday.
