Stephanie McMahon is inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame at Wrestlepalooza

WWE celebrated this early morning the premium event Wrestlepalooza, a show that had surprises, not only in the ring. One of the most unexpected moments occurred before the main event, when The Undertaker, dressed as American Badass, made an appearance and headed to the ringside area.

There he found Stephanie McMahon, who usually watches some WWE shows among the audience. The Undertaker sat next to Stephanie and hinted that she follows him to all the events she attends. The Deadman imitated her husband, asking the crowd if they were ready, supposedly for the main event, but Undertaker changed course and asked if Stephanie McMahon was ready to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in the next edition.

Stephanie McMahon was surprised and couldn't hold back the tears upon hearing the news, becoming the first McMahon to be nominated for the position (excluding Vince McMahon Sr). McMahon nodded and hugged The Undertaker. Nick Khan also approached to congratulate Stephanie McMahon before the cameras changed scenes to promote the match between Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre.

Stephanie McMahon is part of WWE's living history. From a young age, she got involved in the family business, first working in the marketing area and sales department before making the leap to television. Her on-screen debut took place in 1999 in a storyline with The Undertaker and Vince McMahon, marking the beginning of a career as a television character that led her to star in some of the most memorable stories of the Attitude Era and the Ruthless Aggression Era.

Throughout the years, Stephanie established herself as a figure of authority on WWE shows. Her union with Triple H led to the "McMahon-Helmsley Faction" era, where both acted as dominant villains. Later on, she returned in the 2010s as part of "The Authority," a role that solidified her as one of the most influential on-screen personalities while holding leadership positions behind the scenes.

In addition to her presence on television, Stephanie was key in WWE's global expansion. As the Chief Brand Officer, she represented the company at international conferences, established partnerships with major brands, and helped position WWE as a benchmark in global sports entertainment. Her Hall of Fame nomination not only recognizes her impact as a character but also her decisive influence on the growth and modernization of the company founded by her family.
