Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show, Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque addressed his recent surprise announcement as a WWE Hall of Fame inductee, revealing it wasn’t something he desired.
“Yeah, clearly I’ve accepted it. When they surprised me with it, and Shawn and Taker walked out on stage, honestly, I thought I just didn’t read the format sheet for the town hall we were doing,” he admitted. He initially believed Shawn Michaels was there for a promotion he’d missed, highlighting his genuine surprise. Despite the initial shock, Levesque acknowledged the honor, especially coming from Michaels and The Undertaker. “You know, as we had talked about Hall of Fame, I did not want to do it. We had other plans, and then Nick [Khan] took things into his own hands, and he’s the president, so what can I do?”
