The WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony occurred right after WrestleMania SmackDown tonight, as it took place live at the Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas, Nevada, the night before WrestleMania 42.

Several major stars were announced as inductees into the Class of 2026, and leading the class was none other than the former Chairperson of WWE, Stephanie McMahon. Her induction kicked off the ceremony tonight.

Stephanie was inducted into the Hall of Fame by her daughters and her mother Linda McMahon, following which she delivered a heartfelt speech thanking her family, friends and speaking about the business in general.

Rodman revealed that he had a speech prepared for the show which was written for him by Stephanie McMahon, but he unfortunately lost the speech before making it to the podium. He thanked Stephanie for her efforts, but was glad that he wouldn’t have to be on stage for as long now that he didn’t have a prepared speech.
