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.
