Stephanie McMahon Set for WWE Hall of Fame at Wrestlepalooza
What a night it was at WWE Wrestlepalooza, a show that already promised to be historic as ESPN hosted its first-ever premium live event. But beyond the action in the ring, one of the biggest surprises of the evening came when Stephanie McMahon was announced as a future WWE Hall of Fame inductee. And the moment was made even more special because it was delivered by none other than The Undertaker himself.
The announcement came in classic Undertaker fashion. After the mixed tag team showdown featuring CM Punk and AJ Lee against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch—a match that had the crowd on its feet—fans suddenly heard that familiar gong. The lights dimmed, the atmosphere shifted, and out rode The Deadman on his motorcycle, creating a throwback to his iconic “American Badass” persona. The audience erupted, but the true shocker came when he walked straight toward Stephanie McMahon.

Sitting beside her, Undertaker told Stephanie that he’d seen her grow not only as a performer but also as a leader within the company, and he asked her if she was ready. It was then revealed that Stephanie McMahon would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2026. The crowd reaction said it all—it felt like a full-circle moment for someone who has been both a villain on screen and a respected executive behind the scenes.
Stephanie’s Hall of Fame nod feels well deserved. She has been part of WWE television since the late 1990s, evolving from the on-screen daughter of Vince McMahon into one of the most important figures behind the curtain. She has worked as head of creative, been involved in countless storylines, and has always been respected by talent and fans alike. Hearing The Undertaker himself deliver the news gave it an extra layer of legitimacy and respect.
But that wasn’t the only buzzworthy part of Wrestlepalooza. The night was filled with nonstop action, with CM Punk and AJ Lee stealing the show in their first major tag match together against Rollins and Lynch. The chemistry, the crowd reactions, and AJ’s return to the spotlight made it feel like one of those once-in-a-generation matches. Fans were especially thrilled to see AJ Lee score the victory by making Becky Lynch tap out. It was a reminder of how much the WWE Universe had missed her.
Elsewhere, Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes battled in a hard-hitting main event for the championship, while John Cena faced off with Brock Lesnar in what could be one of their final chapters together. And in the women’s division, Stephanie Vaquer defeated Iyo Sky in an emotional showdown to claim the vacant Women’s World Championship.
Still, despite all the chaos, surprises, and unforgettable matches, the headline that will echo long after Wrestlepalooza is that Stephanie McMahon’s legacy is officially cemented. In 2026, she’ll take her rightful place among wrestling royalty in the WWE Hall of Fame—a moment that will be celebrated by fans, wrestlers, and legends alike. And if Wrestlepalooza was any indication, this new ESPN era of WWE is already off to a powerful start.
