The Undertaker thinks Shawn Michaels has to be the man to induct Triple H into the WWE Hall of Fame.
During an appearance on Busted Open Radio, The Undertaker spoke about Triple H’s Hall of Fame induction. The Deadman stated that Shawn Michaels inducting him is a “no-brainer”, saying that due to their history together, it’s “gotta be Shawn”.
He added that even if Shawn Michaels didn’t induct him, Triple H’s wife Stephanie McMahon should do the honor instead.
“Shawn [Michaels], I Think.” The Undertaker said. “I think [it’s a no-brainer]. Their friendship, the things they did together. Obviously, I have a tremendous history at WrestleMania with him and we’ve had great matches, but it’s gotta be Shawn. That’s his call. Wherever he goes, you can’t make a wrong call there, but I would guess Shawn. If not Shawn, Stephanie [McMahon].” (H/T to Fightful for the transcription).
The Undertaker On Surprising Triple H
During the interview, The Undertaker also discussed surprising Triple H with the announcement of his induction.
“It was such an inside job. It just reaffirms that if you want to, you can still kayfabe. You can still keep things on the low-key and surprise people,” The Undertaker said.
“To be able to pull the wool over Triple H—who has his hands in everything—on so many levels, I was proud and honored because it was him. I have so much history with him. But to be able to pull that off… You have Shawn coming from Atlanta, I’m coming from Austin. To get from those places without people knowing anything, to get to the office while they’re on stage doing whatever town hall there was, and to get all the way into Gorilla position and look at Stephanie, who was there to have lunch afterwards.”
The Undertaker continued. “She was looking at me like, ‘Why are y’all here?’ She’s thinking in her head that I’m there to promote LFG, so it was such a great hit. He’s the decision-maker. He can’t put himself in there—people are gonna shit all over that. So it had to be done. It was so stealthy, it was so well done. Nick Khan called me and Shawn and said, ‘What do we think?’. We put a plan together, it was implemented to perfection, and we caught him off guard.”
