The female star then mentioned how she wouldn't be where she is without her father Vince McMahon. The mention of the former WWE Chairman received loud cheer from the fans, and a 'Thank You Vince' chant then broke out in the arena:
Truthfully my mom should be the one going into Hall of Fame tonight. She was the very first CEO of WWE. And if it weren't for her, and of course my father Vince McMahon....none of us would be here tonight. Especially me.
