A former WWE manager says Stephanie McMahon may have played Coy about his enthronement of the WWE renown temple.
During Wrestlepaloza of last weekend, The Undertaker announced that Stephanie would be inducted into the WWE renown temple in 2026, making her the first member of this year’s class.

Although Stephanie seemed confused during the announcement, the former director of WWE, Dutch Mantell, suggested that she was probably acting that acting, alluding to what she already knew the enthronement.
“She knew it? I think she did it. I want to go to the fame of fame, how many people you think you are in the temple of fame now? Well, I think she knew it. But hey, Stephanie was never accused of being a bad actress,” said Mantell on her sound on her sound Tale time podcast. “No, I think she knew it. And I think she is so good that she looked credible or that people wouldn’t even ask the question.”
Whether he knows it or not, Mantell thinks she deserves her place.
“It’s good, she starts. She should enter, I think, because she was there at first,” he said.
On the post-spelow Wrestlepaloza, McMahon’s husband, Triple H, insisted that she had no idea of the announcement of the Undertaker and probably thought he was just there to sing his happy birthday, which was on September 24.
Stephanie will be the next member of the McMahon family to enter the temple of WWE renown. In 1996, Shane McMahon inducted his grandfather, Vince McMahon Sr. Triple H was also inducted twice.
