WWE Shares Footage Of Triple H Reacting To Stephanie McMahon Learning She’s Being Inducted Into WWE Hall Of Fame

Paul “Triple H” Levesque was a very proud husband at WWE Wrestlepalooza.

At the inaugural WWE Wrestlepalooza, The Undertaker made a surprise, unannounced appearance right before the final match on the card. Instead of stepping into the ring like he usually would, he actually stepped over the barricade and sat down next to Stephanie McMahon in the crowd. He then revealed that he was actually there to inform her that she was being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and was the first name in the 2026 class.

It was an emotional moment for Stephanie and The Undertaker on camera. However, it was also an emotional moment backstage for Paul Levesque, WWE Chief Content Officer, and, more importantly for this moment, Stephanie’s husband. WWE posted footage of the WWE executive reacting to the announcement on social media, and he could be seen getting visibly emotional and wiping away tears from his eyes.

Paul Levesque and Stephanie McMahon have been married for over 20 years. They tied the knot in 2003. However, they became an on-screen power couple in WWE four years before their wedding. Stephanie will be inducted in Las Vegas during WWE WrestleMania 42 weekend.

That is fitting, considering it was in Las Vegas that Triple H and Stephanie were married on camera, when her drink was spiked at a party, incapacitating her, and allowing Triple H to marry her through a drive-thru wedding chapel as part of a 1999 WWE Raw segment.

Triple H claimed that Stephanie had no idea she was being inducted. Read his comments on the matter here.
