PWInsiderElite.com has confirmed more details of Paul Levesque being surprised with a WWE Hall of Fame announcement today.
Levesque, Nick Khan and Marc Shapiro were hosting a town hall for WWE employees at the WWE HQ in Stamford, CT. As they were finishing up, Shawn Michaels' theme music played and he entered the room. The Undertaker's theme then played and he entered the room.
Michaels said that he knows Levesque wasn't going to love this, but he and The Undertaker were the longest tenures wrestlers on the company roster, so they were making an "executive decision" and informed Levesque that he would be the headliner of the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame class.
Stephanie McMahon then entered the room, nearly in tears, and embraced Levesque and kissed him.
Levesque was absolutely stunned by this - one person who saw the proceedings joked that "there's no way" he was that good of an actor.
Levesque thanked everyone but joked that he was going to "kill Nick Khan."
We are told WWE cameras were on hand, so it's entirely possible they will include the scene whenever the company officially confirms our reporting.
