Following the announcement that Stephanie McMahon will be the first inductee into the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame class, Shane McMahon’s son, Declan McMahon, took to social media to advocate for his father’s induction. The call for his father’s recognition quickly gained traction and received a major endorsement from another WWE Hall of Famer, Mark Henry. The discussion highlights the family legacy that runs deep within the McMahon family and the contributions that Shane McMahon has made to the company over several decades, often as a performer in high-stakes, daredevil matches.
Declan McMahon posted his message on X (formerly Twitter), directly calling for his father’s induction.
“Put Shane McMahon in the Hall of Fame!”
Mark Henry, who is also a WWE Hall of Famer, retweeted the post and added his full support for the idea, even volunteering to be the one to induct him.
“Hell yeah! I want to induct him!!!”
Shane McMahon’s last WWE appearance came at WrestleMania 39, where he suffered a legitimate injury during an impromptu match against The Miz. His career has been marked by his willingness to take extreme risks and his involvement in some of WWE’s most memorable storylines, both as a corporate heir and as an in-ring performer.
