WrestleMania season is here which means that the annual WWE Hall of Fame ceremony will be taking place in a few months. A huge name has already been confirmed for the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame class as it was recently revealed that Triple H will be inducted this year.
The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels surprised Triple H when the news was revealed during a WWE Town Hall event. Recently The Undertaker appeared on Busted Open Radio, and he explained how the two legends went out of their way to make sure no one found out ahead of time.
“It was such an inside job. It just reaffirms that if you want to, you can still kayfabe. You can still keep things on the low-key and surprise people. To be able to pull the wool over Triple H—who has his hands in everything—on so many levels, I was proud and honored because it was him. I have so much history with him. But to be able to pull that off… You have Shawn coming from Atlanta, I’m coming from Austin. To get from those places without people knowing anything, to get to the office while they’re on stage doing whatever town hall there was, and to get all the way into Gorilla position and look at Stephanie, who was there to have lunch afterwards.”
“She was looking at me like, ‘Why are y’all here?’ She’s thinking in her head that I’m there to promote LFG, so it was such a great hit. He’s the decision-maker. He can’t put himself in there—people are gonna s*** all over that. So it had to be done. It was so stealthy, it was so well done. Nick Khan called me and Shawn and said, ‘What do we think?’. We put a plan together, it was implemented to perfection, and we caught him off guard.”
When Undertaker was asked who should induct Triple H he said, “Shawn [Michaels]. It’s gotta be Shawn. It’s a no-brainer.”
