Triple H revealed he had been working on Ultimate Warrior's WWE return for over 18 months, and that his return was a healing process for WWE. Both sides had to grow, and move on from issues they had in the past, but it meant the world to WWE that Warrior accepted the Hall of Fame induction offer.

Triple H repeated what Warrior said during his Hall of Fame induction speech, that his greatest accomplishment in his life were his wife and being a great father to his young daughters. HHH said Warrior was ecstatic to be back, and he didn't think he saw the smile leave Warrior's face the entire time he was in New Orleans. He said Warrior's passing was "shocking, tragic and devastating to all of us."
