Beth was interviewed by USA Today about the news of her induction. Here are some of the highlights.
On hearing that Triple H and Vince McMahon made the call for her to be in the Hall of Fame:
“To hear they find my career was worthy enough and that I did well enough in the ring to be honored among the greatest of all time was incredible and the biggest complement I could ever ask for. It’s still sinking in and is very surreal”
On how her husband and WWE Hall of Famer: Edge reacted to the news:
“He was like, ‘Oh, OK.’ He wasn’t shocked by it at all,” she said. “He’s like, ‘Of course, you deserve it.’ I was shocked by that response, too. I said, ‘You think I deserve this? Is this the right time?’ He was 100 percent confident and he made me feel like a million bucks about it. He is super excited. We’re still celebrating it and looking forward to seeing everyone at WrestleMania and enjoying the experience.”
