Triple H is undeniably one of the most decorated WWE Superstars of all time. Ahead of this year’s Royal Rumble, he was surprised by Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, and Stephanie McMahon with the announcement that he would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2025. Now, the big question remains—who will have the honor of inducting The Cerebral Assassin into this prestigious class?
WWE has officially announced that Michaels, Triple H’s longtime best friend, will have the honor of inducting him into the Hall of Fame Class of 2025. While many expected his wife, Stephanie McMahon, to take on the role, it appears WWE is leaning into the rich history, friendship, and camaraderie between The Game and The Heartbreak Kid for this year’s Hall of Fame ceremony in Las Vegas.
For the past few years, WWE has held the Hall of Fame ceremony immediately following SmackDown during WrestleMania week. However, this year’s event will take place separately on Friday, April 18, at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas. In addition to Triple H’s induction, CM Punk will have the honor of inducting both Stone Cold Steve Austin and Bret Hart, celebrating their legendary match from WrestleMania 13.

Furthermore, The Undertaker will also be in attendance to honor his wife, Michelle McCool, as she is inducted into the Hall of Fame. However, the spotlight will firmly be on Triple H, as the night is dedicated to celebrating his immense contributions to the world of professional wrestling—both as an in-ring talent and as a visionary creative force.
What Randy Orton has to say ahead of Triple H’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony?
Randy Orton and Triple H share a storied history in WWE. As one of the key figures who helped shape Orton’s early career, Triple H played a pivotal role in The Viper’s rise. Over the years, the two have battled both alongside and against each other. Ahead of The King of Kings’ Hall of Fame induction, Orton expressed his respect and gratitude, saying he was honored to speak two words about the WWE CCO.
In a video shared by WWE, The Apex Predator referred to Triple H as “the greatest of all time.” Orton praised the former WWE Champion as easily one of the top three in-ring performers in history. However, what truly sets him apart, according to Orton, is his unwavering passion and commitment to nurturing the next generation of talent.
When I think of Triple H, I think of the greatest mind this business has ever seen. You hear about the GOATs, the BOATs, the Greatest of All Time. And I really think Triple H could be the greatest. Definitely, top three greatest in-ring performers of all time. But it doesn’t just stop there. What Hunter is amazing at, is helping other talent.

Orton believes that The Game sees it as his responsibility to give back to the business that made him a legend. Additionally, The Legend Killer praised Hunter’s visionary mindset, stating that his mind is always ahead of its time. He often thinks about things others wouldn’t even consider in the moment.
Gunther praised Triple H by saying he saved professional wrestling
Gunther is one of the standout stars who truly thrived under Triple H’s booking. The Ring General had a legendary run as Intercontinental Champion and has now climbed his way to becoming a World Champion—all during The Game’s era. Recently, the Austrian powerhouse opened up about his respect and admiration for Triple H in an interview.
Speaking on The MMA Hour, the World Champion shared that he’s thriving under Triple H’s leadership. He credited The Game for opening the door for global talent, transforming WWE from being seen as just an American sport into a worldwide phenomenon with fans across the globe.
Obviously, he’s my boss and I’m in a very good position at the company right now, but I think, to a certain degree, that he saved professional wrestling, to a big degree, I think.
