The Warrior Award presentation will be part of the WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, streaming Thursday, April 2 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. ET exclusively on Peacock in the U.S. and on WWE Network everywhere else.
The twin brother of WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Kairi Sane, Ren Hosako was considered one of the best wrestlers in the entire world, but it wasn't easy for him. Diagnosed with the autism spectrum at a young age, Hosako embraced it and said in his book, 'Broken Winged Angel: The Ren Hosako Story', 'All my life, I've been bullied due to my disability.
