At Wrestlepalooza, The Undertaker made a surprise appearance before the main event could start. He came down to the ring on his motorcycle and stopped in front of Stephanie McMahon.

During the Wrestlepalooza postshow, Triple H revealed that Stephanie had no idea she was going into the WWE Hall of Fame until The Undertaker informed her live during the show.

"She had no idea, and I think she thought that 'Taker (The Undertaker) was coming out there; it's her birthday in four days," Triple H said. "I think she thought 'Taker was coming out there to embarrass her and sing Happy Birthday to her, and she had no clue right up until he said 'induct.'

"But the truth is, she's one of the most iconic performers in an era, the Attitude Era, and moving forward from there, she was a powerful character for a lot of young women around the world."

Many fans believe the recognition means Stephanie McMahon is finally getting her flowers for her contributions to the industry.
