The Undertaker on Stephanie McMahon taking over as interim CEO & Chairman of WWE: “Stephanie is incredible, and she’s going to show that in this new role. She is level-headed, she sees the whole picture. Her steady, calm hand is exactly what is needed. There’s not a selfish bone in her body, but she’s all about business. She’s the right person for the job. I have 100% confidence about what Stephanie McMahon will do for the company.”

His thoughts on WWE’s women’s division: “The women’s division is really, really good. Bianca has only scratched the surface of the star she’s going to be. She’s got such an incredible personality. She’s someone I really want to see succeed. And Becky is just on a whole other level. You never know what’s coming next. Watching what she’s doing, it’s clear she has the potential to be on top for a long time.”

On his Hall of Fame induction speech: “I knew I had to do something different. I didn’t know I was going to completely reinvent the wheel. It was the first time in a live atmosphere for me to show the man behind the hat. As JBL said to me afterward, ‘What a roll of the dice.’ I was really happy with how it turned out.”

While Vince McMahon has stepped down from his role as CEO & Chairman of WWE, he’s remained involved in the WWE creative process. McMahon inducted The Undertaker into the WWE Hall of Fame earlier this year.
