Vince McMahon spoke about his relationship with The Undertaker and broke the news that he will be inducting ‘The Phenom’ in the Hall of Fame this year. The Undertaker’s induction in the Hall of Fame was announced last month. Vince McMahon also dropped a bombshell that the future successors of WWE don’t necessarily have to be from the family.

In a part of the segment, Vince McMahon heaped a lot of praise on Pat. He said he knew Pat loves the business. Vince also said that he knows everyone in the organization and the fans enjoy how Pat conducts himself. He said Pat’s biggest plus point is that he doesn’t try to be anyone else but himself, which everybody likes about him.

Vince offered Pat a chance to “wrestle at WrestleMania,” and this made Pat get out of his chair in excitement. Pat quickly accepted the opportunity saying “it’s a dream, boss!”

Vince didn’t disclose any name as to who could be Pat’s opponent at The Show of Shows but if rumors are to be believed, it’s going to be the talented Austin Theory.
