— Stephanie McMahon is up first.


We get a Stephanie McMahon video package. Liv Morgan says she learned how to be a b***h from Stephanie McMahon. We get a slap compilation and Cole says she caused him hearing loss. Steph’s daughters, Aurora, Murphy, and Vaughn are out to induct her and joining them is Linda McMahon. Aurora speaks first and jokes since she is the oldest, she is the favorite. She talks about her mom thriving in a male dominated business and changing the women’s division. Taking them from popcorn matches to the Main Event of WrestleMania. She taught her about work ethic, the power of your voice, and the power of perseverance. She wouldn’t be who she is without her role model, and inspiration. There is nothing wrong with a daughter who loves and looks up to her mom.

Murphy is next and is the middle child. She is here to tell what her mom means to her. She is the most empathetic person she knows as she has the biggest heart. She talks about Connor and how Steph has made it her mission to help children with cancer. CONNOR THE CRUSHER! She talks about her mother’s laugh and how it draws her back. She calls her mom a badass who raised three girls and changed the world with the women’s revolution. They keep cutting to the women on the roster and they are just beaming. “I love you more than you love me.”

Vaughn, the youngest, is up next. She calls her mom’s love infectious. We see HHH in the crowd and he is smiling ear to ear as a proud father should. Vaughn is the singer in the family and felt different because her sisters and parents were athletes. She always knew she could sing and dance in the kitchen with her mom to let go of anything that happened that day. She jokes their dances moves aren’t the best. “I love you more.”

Linda is last and says she knows she is a bit prejudice. “Aren’t they magnificent? Give it up!” Linda notes she has worn different hats in this journey as a mom and business woman. She talks about Steph coming out of college with her parents being in charge of the company and her brother being a high ranking official. She talks about Shane slamming Steph on the couch as kids and then telling her not to tell dad.
