Stephanie McMahon is the first confirmed name for the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2026. The announcement came during a surprise segment with The Undertaker, who also revealed he will induct her.

The segment began with The Undertaker making his entrance as the American Badass, riding his motorcycle down to ringside. He parked the bike and approached McMahon, who was sitting in the front row, asking if the seat next to her was available.

After sitting down, Taker joked that she must be pursuing him, referencing that they had just seen each other in Las Vegas for a boxing fight. He then noted they had known each other for a long time before posing the question.

“Are you ready? Because I feel honored to introduce you as the first member of the WWE Hall of Fame 2026,” The Undertaker said.

An emotional and surprised McMahon embraced him following the reveal. After the interaction, Taker returned to his motorcycle and rode backstage, while Nick Khan approached McMahon to personally congratulate her.
