Paul “Triple H” Levesque was surprised by WWE HQ last week when CEO Nick Khan and Legends Shawn Michaels and Undertaker revealed that he would be the first member of the 2025 Hall of Fame Class.
Levesque will go into the Hall of Fame as a solo -wrestler. He was introduced to the Hall of Fame as a member of D-Generation X Tag team with Michaels, both of which were integrated parts of “Monday Night Wars” against the World Championship Wrestling in the late 1990s.

He talked about receiving the honor of the Royal Rumble Post-Event press conference.
“In business for me, outside the ring, there is no one that I respect anymore, none, than him,” he said of Khan. “He’s my partner in all this. Sowing him who did it to me was incredibly meaningful.”
Last week, Khan turned to the company when Michaels and Undertaker, whose real name is Mark Calaway, interrupted and surprised Levesque with their own message.
“From a guy who usually has something to say about everything, I’m speechless,” Levesque said Wednesday. “I kill Nick when we travel here. If you see someone flying out of the roof, just ignore it. I don’t really know what else to say.”
