The Undertaker was proud and honored to have secretly plotted to surprise Triple H with the news that he would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Last week, Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker surprised WWE’s Chief Content Officer with the announcement during a town hall meeting for company employees.
During an appearance on Busted Open Radio, The Undertaker spoke about how he and Shawn Michaels managed to go behind Triple H’s back. He also named Michaels as the person who should induct Triple H into the WWE Hall of Fame.
The Undertaker: The Plan Was Implemented Perfectly
“It was such an inside job. It just reaffirms that if you want to, you can still kayfabe. You can still keep things on the low-key and surprise people,” The Undertaker said.
“To be able to pull the wool over Triple H—who has his hands in everything—on so many levels, I was proud and honored because it was him. I have so much history with him. But to be able to pull that off… You have Shawn coming from Atlanta, I’m coming from Austin. To get from those places without people knowing anything, to get to the office while they’re on stage doing whatever town hall there was, and to get all the way into Gorilla position and look at Stephanie, who was there to have lunch afterwards.”
The Undertaker continued. “She was looking at me like, ‘Why are y’all here?’ She’s thinking in her head that I’m there to promote LFG, so it was such a great hit. He’s the decision-maker. He can’t put himself in there—people are gonna shit all over that. So it had to be done. It was so stealthy, it was so well done. Nick Khan called me and Shawn and said, ‘What do we think?’. We put a plan together, it was implemented to perfection, and we caught him off guard.”
When asked who should induct Triple H into the WWE Hall of Fame, The Undertaker replied by saying, “Shawn [Michaels]. It’s gotta be Shawn. It’s a no-brainer,” The Undertaker added.
