Triple H says his Hall of Fame induction is one of the most meaningful things of his career for him.
The Game was surprised by the trio of Nick Khan, Undertaker, and Shawn Michaels who announced him as the headliner for the 2025 Hall of Fame during a WWE Townhall meeting earlier this week.
The former World Champion was asked how he felt about the announcement during his appearance on the post-Royal Rumble media scrum. Triple H noted that he had previously been inducted as part of the DX, but going in alone is very different:
\"I\'ll be honest. We did it with DX. It was a lot of fun. It\'s different when it\'s you. While I\'ve been a part of all of these, and I\'ve seen some talent see it as the biggest honor. I\'ve seen other talent be like, \'Yeah, whatever.\' But for the most part, our talent all see it as sort of the ultimate pay of respect to you and your career.
I\'ve had the honor of calling a lot of people to tell them, \'We\'re going to induct you in the Hall of Fame,\' or be there in person to say to them, \'We\'re going to induct you into the Hall of Fame\' and watch them cry and watch them get emotional. Because of our passion for what we do, it hit me up way harder than I thought it would.\
It Was oddly Comical And Surreal: Triple H
Triple H said that when Taker and HBK first came out, he thought that they were there to promote some WWE project. The WWE creative head claimed that it was a very emotional moment when the reality dawned on him:
\"When we left there, it was a kind of an oddly comical and surreal moment. Then Taker was there, and Shawn was there. We went straight upstairs and went into a meeting and everything else. As it slowly started to dawn on me, I thought like, \'Here we go.\'
The same moment that I watched everybody else have, that emotions, all flooding over you. Of your career, the people you\'ve worked with, what it meant to you, the fans that you\'ve met around the world, the moments that you\'ve been able to create and share. Fortunately for me, this is not, I\'m not out of the business.
I have the maybe almost more enjoyable point in my life of being able to watch all these guys do it now. Help them get there and put it all together. But it was emotional, and I\'m excited for it. I wish it wasn\'t at WrestleMania, so I could focus on it more, but it\'s one of the most meaningful things in my career.\
