Triple H Praises Stephanie McMahon as “Heart and Soul” Ahead of WWE Hall of Fame Induction

On the road to WrestleMania, Triple H told Joe Tessitore that Stephanie McMahon’s influence on WWE—especially the women’s division—and her impact on fans is immeasurable. He recalled how Steph’s on-screen role as one of the few powerful female characters inspired a generation of fans, and he emphasized she remains a touchstone for people who grew up wanting to emulate that presence.

Triple H also highlighted McMahon’s backstage importance, calling her the “heart and soul” of the company who knew everyone and their families, and saying her contributions are “second to none.” McMahon was announced as the first 2026 WWE Hall of Fame inductee; the ceremony is set for April 17 at Dolby Live at Park MGM, with WrestleMania 42 scheduled for April 18–19 at Allegiant Stadium.
