Who Will Induct Stephanie McMahon Into WWE Hall Of Fame 2026

WWE

Stephanie McMahon is set to be the headliner for the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame class in Las Vegas.

Celebrating her career and contributions, McMahon will be honored on Friday, April 17 and could have any number of legends to induct her into the hallowed halls of WWE.

From those in her family, to some of the biggest names in the company’s history, Stephanie could have someone important to her career bring her into the Hall of Fame during WrestleMania 42 weekend.

Here are six potential options for who will induct Stephanie McMahon into the WWE Hall of Fame 2026.

6. Triple H

It is a no-brainer for WWE to choose Triple H to induct his wife Stephanie McMahon into the WWE Hall of Fame 2026.

“The Game” has been closely tied to his wife’s career since they first became a duo on WWE TV in 1999.

The McMahon-Helmsley regime took Stephanie from a mild-mannered daughter of the boss to “The Billion Dollar Princess.”

Triple H honoring his wife with a proper induction speech feels like a special moment that the WWE Hall of Fame is all about.

5. The Undertaker

At WWE Wrestlepalooza 2025, The Undertaker made a surprise appearance to announce that Stephanie McMahon was being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame 2026.

Back in 1999, Stephanie was used in her first storyline when her father Vince McMahon was feuding with The Undertaker.

“The Deadman” kidnapped Stephanie and looked to marry her in a black wedding of sorts before Stone Cold Steve Austin made the save.

Now all these years later, Taker could be the one to say, “where to, Stephanie” before inducting her into the WWE Hall of Fame 2026.

4. Paul Heyman

Paul Heyman has had up-and-down relationships with many stars and legends in WWE over the past three decades.

However, none has gone from explosive to loving quite like Heyman’s friendship with Stephanie McMahon.

Heyman and McMahon were once bumping heads as part of the WWE creative team and now all these years later, find themselves with glowing respect for one another.

With his ability to reflect on an individual’s career and his legendary talking ability, Heyman is someone who could do a masterful job with an induction speech for Stephanie as she joins him in the WWE Hall of Fame.

3. Kurt Angle

Back in 2000, Stephanie McMahon was part of one of the most iconic love triangle storylines in WWE history.

McMahon was already married in an established power couple with Triple H when Kurt Angle started a friendship with “The Billion Dollar Princess.”

The Olympic Gold Medalist would get in between Stephanie and Triple H in one of the more memorable stories of the 2000s.

Angle returning to WWE to induct Stephanie McMahon would be fitting due to how iconic this storyline was to both of their careers.

2. Shane McMahon

There is no better option to induct someone into the WWE Hall of Fame quite like family most of the time.

Shane McMahon has not officially appeared on WWE programming since the WrestleMania 39 premium live event in 2023.

Seeing his sister being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame could be enough to bring Shane back into the fold.

Having her brother being the one to induct her into the WWE Hall of Fame 2026, Stephanie McMahon could have a loving family moment to cherish upon this great honor during WrestleMania 42 weekend.

1. Vince McMahon

There is one other family member that might mean even more to Stephanie McMahon and deliver a major shock moment for the WWE Hall of Fame 2026.

Since his departure from WWE in 2024, Vince McMahon has been persona non grata in the company.

However, Vince has been referenced on several different occasions over the past few weeks, which has led to some speculating that WWE could bring him back in some capacity.

McMahon returning to induct Stephanie into the WWE Hall of Fame 2026 would be a huge surprise that will lead to a lot of discussion.
