The WWE Universe was in for quite the shock at the 2019 WWE Hall of Fame, as Stacy Keibler surprised the crowd by coming out to introduce her longtime friend and the legendary Torrie Wilson into the 2019 class.

Prior to Wilson’s entrance into the ring, Keibler came out in a very rare appearance on a WWE event. After leaving the company in 2006, Keibler hasn’t had much interaction with professional wrestling, but with her longtime friend getting inducted into the Hall of Fame, she decided to make the trip. In her short speech, she praised Wilson and credited their friendship with helping her adjust to the WWE.
When it came time for Wilson to enter the ring, her speech focused heavily on not letting fear get in the way of what you want. She recounted stories on how her shyness nearly derailed some of her best moments in life, but told the crowd to try and “forget the failure” in order to be more confident. She even joked about her poor wrestling skills, and said that despite the many botched and errors, she stayed confident, and it paid off in the end.

Wilson closed her speech by thanking Keibler, Kevin Nash, Hulk Hogan, and many other superstars for helping her get to where she is today, and ended things by thanking her dad, Al Wilson, who unfortunately passed away earlier this week, and the WWE universe for the constant love that they showed her.
