Former women's champion Ivory will be the third inductee in WWE's 2018 class at the annual Hall of Fame ceremony.
Ivory broke into the professional wrestling business in 1986 and held the WWF Women's Championship three times during a 20-year career in the sport.
She started out as a competitor on Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, the 1980s wrestling television show that inspired the hit Netflix show GLOW.
Competing under the name Tina Ferrari, Ivory captured GLOW's championship before a hiatus from wrestling in the early 1990s.
After nearly a decade away from the squared circle, Ivory returned to the ring in 1999, showing up in WWE in the corner of Mark Henry and D'Lo Brown.
Not long after her arrival, Ivory defeated Debra to capture her first WWE Women's Championship. Though she was later dethroned by The Fabulous Moolah, Ivory quickly rebounded and recaptured the title from the WWE Hall of Famer.
Ivory then aligned herself with the buttoned-up Right to Censor, trading in her tights for a crisp white dress shirt and a full-length skirt.
The unusual ring attire did not hinder her from competing at the highest level, as she defeated three fellow WWE Hall of Famers - Lita, Trish Stratus and Jacqueline - to capture her third Women's title in 2000.
Ivory continued to compete in WWE through 2005 but also began to take on other roles in the company, including serving as a trainer on season three of WWE Tough Enough, announcing and hosting several WWE television programs before departing in 2009.
She follows Goldberg and the Dudley Boyz as this year's Hall of Fame inductees.
