Triple H becomes 1st member of WWE's 2025 HOF class

WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque was announced Wednesday evening as the first member of the 2025 Hall of Fame class.

Originally inducted as a member of D-Generation X in 2019, Levesque will be individually recognized this April during WrestleMania Week in Las Vegas.

Hall of Famers Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker teamed up with his wife, former wrestler Stephanie McMahon, to surprise Levesque with the announcement at WWE headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut.

Levesque began his WWE tenure in 1995 after a brief stint in WCW, and he went on to become one of the most decorated stars in the promotion's history. His 30-year in-ring career included 14 world titles, a King of the Ring in 1997, and Royal Rumble match victories in 2002 and 2016 before his 2022 retirement.

WWE made Levesque its Executive Senior Advisor in 2010 before promoting him to Executive Vice President of Talent and Live Events a year later. He then became Chief Content Officer in 2022 following former CEO Vince McMahon's retirement.

WrestleMania 41 is set to take place April 19-20 at Allegiant Stadium.
