Backstage Details From WWE Town Hall Session Where Triple H Was Announced As Hall Of Fame Inductee

-- Yesterday, it was reported that WWE privately announced that Paul "Triple H" Levesque was going to get inducted into the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame as the "headliner" and that it was revealed to him in a surprise by legends Undertaker and Shawn Michaels. PWInsiderelite.com has more details on what went down.

-- According to their report, Levesque was joined by executives Nick Khan and Marc Shapiro in hosting a "town hall" for WWE employees at the company's headquarters in Stamford, CT. As the session was wrapping up, Shawn Michaels' theme music hit and he came out followed by the Undertaker coming out to his own music. Michaels took the mic and stated that he knows HHH isn't going to like this but along with Taker being longest tenured wrestlers with the company, they were making an "executive decision" and announcing Levesque as being inducted into the Hall of Fame as an individual contributor. After Levesque thanked everyone and joked that he would "kill Nick Khan", Stephanie McMahon's music hit and she came out and hugged her husband.

-- As per employees who were there, Levesque was said to be genuinely shocked at the proceedings and nobody believed that he had any idea of what was going down. WWE cameras were on hand to film everything so expect that to be made public sooner rather than later.
