Stephanie McMahon: The McMahons Were Never Supposed To Be In The WWE Hall Of Fame
As Stephanie was brought up, that was the way of thinking.
The headliner for the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame class was Stephanie McMahon. She spoke further about her induction on the newest episode of her What’s Your Story? podcast.
Stephanie shared that when she was coming up in the business, the way of thinking was that the McMahons would never be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
“Well, the McMahons were never supposed to be in the Hall of Fame, as I was always brought up. We were characters that were intentionally designed to get other talent over. So it was never about us… and that’s just sort of ingrained in my brain.”
The WWE Hall of Fame class of 2026 included Stephanie, A.J. Styles, Demolition (Ax/Bill Eadie & Smash/Barry Darsow), Dennis Rodman, Sid Eudy, Bad News Brown, and the Hulk Hogan versus André the Giant match from WrestleMania III.
