For weeks now the wrestling world has been buzzing about the WWE WrestlePalooza premium live event and the show aired live from Indianapolis, IN on Saturday night.
Before the main event The Undertaker’s music hit and he made his way out to ringside on his motorcycle. The Undertaker parked his bike in front of Stephanie McMahon then asked if the seat next to her was taken.
The Undertaker hopped over the barricade then sat down next to Steph. He joked that they’ve known each other for a very long time then asked the crowd “are you ready?” Taker looked at Steph and told her that he’s honored to announce that she will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2026.
Stephanie got emotional and she looked surprised as he made the announcement. The fans cheered then Stephanie hugged The Undertaker. After Undertaker left Nick Khan approached Stephanie and gave her a hug.
As announced by The @undertaker at #Wrestlepalooza, Stephanie McMahon is the first member of the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame induction class!
