Not Stephanie McMahon! 59-year-old legend set to induct Triple H into WWE Hall of Fame 2025

 

Former WWE Champion is set to induct Triple H into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2025 this year in Las Vegas ahead of WrestleMania.

Triple H is undeniably one of the most decorated WWE Superstars of all time. Ahead of this year’s Royal Rumble, he was surprised by Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, and Stephanie McMahon with the announcement that he would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2025. Now, the big question remains—who will have the honor of inducting The Cerebral Assassin into this prestigious class?

WWE has officially announced that Michaels, Triple H’s longtime best friend, will have the honor of inducting him into the Hall of Fame Class of 2025. While many expected his wife, Stephanie McMahon, to take on the role, it appears WWE is leaning into the rich history, friendship, and camaraderie between The Game and The Heartbreak Kid for this year’s Hall of Fame ceremony in Las Vegas.

For the past few years, WWE has held the Hall of Fame ceremony immediately following SmackDown during WrestleMania week. However, this year’s event will take place separately on Friday, April 18, at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas. In addition to Triple H’s induction, CM Punk will have the honor of inducting both Stone Cold Steve Austin and Bret Hart, celebrating their legendary match from WrestleMania 13.

What Randy Orton has to say ahead of Triple H’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony?

Randy Orton and Triple H share a storied history in WWE. As one of the key figures who helped shape Orton’s early career, Triple H played a pivotal role in The Viper’s rise. Over the years, the two have battled both alongside and against each other. Ahead of The King of Kings’ Hall of Fame induction, Orton expressed his respect and gratitude, saying he was honored to speak two words about the WWE CCO.

In a video shared by WWE, The Apex Predator referred to Triple H as “the greatest of all time.” Orton praised the former WWE Champion as easily one of the top three in-ring performers in history. However, what truly sets him apart, according to Orton, is his unwavering passion and commitment to nurturing the next generation of talent.

When I think of Triple H, I think of the greatest mind this business has ever seen. You hear about the GOATs, the BOATs, the Greatest of All Time. And I really think Triple H could be the greatest. Definitely, top three greatest in-ring performers of all time. But it doesn’t just stop there. What Hunter is amazing at, is helping other talent.
