The Fabulous Freebirds entrance into the WWE Hall of Fame will not be booty ... and it's all because The New Day are handling the induction duties.

WWE.com broke the news Wednesday and included quotes from Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods about how the tag team influenced their current run.

Initially, there were online complaints about WWE honoring a team who'd sometimes rep the Confederate flag -- but the inclusion of New Day as inductees might stop that from continuing.

Big E also teased something special for the speech, but wouldn't go into specifics.

Guess we'll have to wait and see.
