While speaking on the WrestlePalooza post-show, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque covered a range of topics, including the fact that Stephanie McMahon had no knowledge of her Hall of Fame induction beforehand and how he managed to surprise her with the announcement.
This is what Triple H said, “Yeah, has anybody got a good lawyer? I’m in trouble. Steph is not happy with me. She had no idea, and I think she thought Taker was coming out there — it’s her birthday in four days — I think she thought Taker was coming out there to embarrass her and sing happy birthday to her, and she had no clue right up until he said, ‘Induct.’ But, the truth is, she is one of the most iconic performers in an era, the Attitude Era and moving forward from there, she was a powerful character for a lot of young women around the world; of a young, powerful executive and an incredible performer. So, to me, not just because she’s my wife, if I put all that aside, she’s just such an incredible performer and part of our business. That’s just the in-ring and stuff and then what she’s done behind the scenes, for all of it, just so well deserved. I can’t say it enough.”
