Stephanie McMahon got a major surprise last night at
Wrestlepalooza as her appearance sitting at ringside came
with a little something extra.
The Undertaker came out to his American Badass theme song
and a bike and stopped right in front of McMahon, who was
sitting at ringside with her podcast co-host Elyse
Dudzinski. Taker grabbed the mic and asked if he could join
her in the seat next to her.
He told her that he was in Vegas last weekend for the fight
and turned around and there she was. Today he was in
Indianapolis, he turns around, and there she is again.
“Are you following me?” Taker asked as the crowd laughed.
Stephanie replied that she’s been following him for a very
long, long time.
Taker then said he’s always wanted to do this but never got
the chance and asked the crowd if they’re ready. He then
said it is his esteemed honor to announce that McMahon is
the first person to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame
Class of 2026.
A shocked McMahon turned emotional and had a long embrace
with The Undertaker as Michael Cole on commentary said that
her leadership at WWE helped many along the years. McMahon
got a standing ovation from the crowd and then got another
hug from Nick Khan’s son and Nick Khan himself, who was
ringside for the whole show.
She becomes the second McMahon to be inducted into the Hall
of Fame following her grandfather Vincent J. McMahon.
