Triple H Thanks Vince McMahon Among Others for His WWE Hall of Fame Induction Speech

Friday’s 2025 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony event in Las Vegas, Nevada featured WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque being among those officially inducted for this year’s class.

During his over one hour long speech, Levesque thanked many people who had helped him throughout his career. Among those he thanked included his father-in-law and former WWE and TKO Executive Chairman Vince McMahon.

“It’s a complicated story and relationship, but in so many ways I wouldn’t be here without him, not just in my business life, which would be enough on its own. My career, he’s the one who saw something in me creatively, invited me to those production meetings, taught me, let me sit under that learning tree, encouraged me to sit under the Pat [Patterson] learning tree and continue to learn, but also in my personal life, my family.”

Levesque also gave his thoughts about why he loves McMahon for all he has done in his life.

“He wasn’t just my boss, he wasn’t just a friend, he wasn’t just a mentor. He would become my father-in-law. He’s — my wife, the person I love most in this world, he’s her father. He’s my kids’ grandfrather. So, it’s complicated. When there’s somebody who helps propel you that far, you owe them so much. He taught me so much. What to do, what not to do. I’m grateful for all those lessons. I love you Vince, and thank you.”
