WWE has published the video of the surprise Triple H received yesterday about the Hall of Fame induction.
Triple H was at the podium, flanked by WWE President Nick Khan and TKO President and COO Mark Shapiro as they were addressing WWE employees during a town hall when all of a sudden, Shawn Michaels’ music kicks in.
Shawn Michaels comes out and greets Triple H and then The Undertaker’s theme starts and he comes out as well to the stage.
“HBK and The Undertaker have made an executive decision here today,” Shawn Michaels says, as The Undertaker also chimes in with, “It’s way, way past overdue.”
“Even though you are in the Hall of Fame as a member of D-Generation X, it is only fitting that The Cerebral Assassin, The Game Triple H, at WrestleMania 41, takes his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame,” Michaels continued.
An emotional Triple H then took the mic and said that from a guy that usually has something to say about everything, he’s left speechless.
“I’m going to kill Nick when we leave here,” Triple H said. “If you see somebody flying off the top of the roof…just ignore it,” he continued as Shaprio chuckled on the side.
“I really…I don’t know what else to say, just thank you,” Triple H said after one of the employees shouted “You deserve it!”
Stephanie McMahon was also on the stage for the announcement.
.@undertaker & I got him good on his home turf!
It is an honor of a lifetime to announce that the first member of the #WWEHOF Class of 2025 is none other than my friend @TripleH. pic.twitter.com/ALmHzuBx48
