Stephanie McMahon Announced for 2026 WWE Hall of Fame Class on Video at Wrestlepalooza

Stephanie McMahon will join the WWE Hall of Fame as a member of the class of 2026.

The Undertaker revealed the news on Saturday night during WWE Wrestlepalooza.

McMahon, who resigned from WWE in 2023, is the first inductee to be named to the 2026 class.

McMahon was first introduced as a recurring character at age 22 in 1998, then saw her role increase in 1999 as she joined The Corporation alongside her father, Vince McMahon, amid his feud with The Ministry of Darkness and The Undertaker.

She later established a fictional relationship with Triple H, whom she later married, then went on to stand as women's champion after winning SmackDown in March 2000.

She wrestled in her final match at WrestleMania 34 in 2018, when she and Triple H lost to Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey.

After her wrestling career, McMahon served multiple roles with WWE including general manager of SmackDown as well as co-CEO and Chief Brand Officer.

She will now join Triple H, who was inducted last April as a member of the class of 2025, in the Hall of Fame.

Another potential candidate for the 2026 class is John Cena, who is currently expected to close out his wrestling career at Saturday Night's Main Event in December.

The Undertaker's announcement took place after CM Punk and AJ Lee beat Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch in Lee's return to WWE.

Wrestlepalooza wrapped up on Saturday night with Cody Rhodes defending his WWE title against Drew McIntyre.
