Stacy Keibler will take her place in the WWE Hall of Fame when she’s inducted as part of the 2023 class.
PEOPLE announced today that she will join Rey Mysterio, The Great Muta, and late comedian Andy Kaufman as part of the 2023 class.
Keibler is best remembered for her time as a manager in WWE and WCW. She also competed in bikini contests and gimmick matches.
"I never thought I would be in the Hall of Fame, to be honest. I was completely shocked when I got the call. I had tears in my eyes. My husband's coming, my husband's family's coming, my family, my kids. We have friends coming from L.A., from Austin. So it's really exciting because a lot of these people didn't get to see me in action. I get tears in my eyes every time. How am I going to keep it together? I got to keep it together."
Stacy began her wrestling career as a part of the Nitro Girls in WCW before becoming Miss Hancock as a manager. She joined WWE in 2001 when the company bought WCW. She managed The Dudley Boyz, Hurricane, Rosey, Test, and Scott Steiner before departing from WWE in 2006.
The WWE Hall of Fame ceremony is scheduled for this Friday after SmackDown. As previously reported, Dave Bautista is not expected to go in.
