He was introduced by WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon, who stated during the induction ceremony that Trump was a “Wrestlemania institution.” The 45th President of the United States made several well-known WWE appearances as a rival of Vince McMahon, including one in which he faced McMahon during Wrestlemania 23 in 2007 for a “Battle of the Billionaires” match.
