Stephanie McMahon will be the first inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2026
Stephanie McMahon, former co-CEO and chairwoman of WWE, has been announced as the first person to enter the WWE Hall of Fame in the year 2026. The surprising news was communicated to him by The Undertaker, a WWE Hall of Famer, during the WrestlePalooza broadcast last Saturday. The Undertaker made a special appearance with his “American Badass” character, arriving at the ring on his motorcycle, where McMahon was in the front row.After asking McMahon, The Undertaker revealed to him that she would be the first to be included in the 2026 class. Daughter of former WWE chairman Vince McMahon, Stephanie held multiple roles within the company from 1998 to 2023. She began as an account executive and receptionist in 1998, before her first on-screen appearance in 1999, involved in Vince McMahon’s rivalry with The Undertaker. Subsequently, she became a wrestler and won the WWF Women’s Championship in 2000, while simultaneously working behind the scenes as a director, senior vice president of creative writing, executive vice president of creative development and operations, and brand director. McMahon continued making frequent appearances and participated in several prominent storylines. One of them came to fruition when she began a relationship and married professional wrestler Paul “Triple H” Levesque in 2003. In 2019, McMahon’s appearances became less frequent due to her increasing role in management. She was named interim president and CEO following an investigation by the board of directors into allegations of sexual misconduct against her father. She resigned from the position in 2023, but has made occasional appearances for the company, despite not having a formal position at WWE. The 2026 Hall of Fame ceremony is scheduled to take place during WrestleMania weekend in Las Vegas, in April.Are you ready?
