It is currently unknown who will induct the valet legend into the WWE Hall of Fame, but a safe choice for the front runner would be her husband and fellow Hall of Fame legend King Booker T.

Queen Sharmell to Join 2022 WWE Hall of Fame Class
What to know about the Legendary Manager
After a successful pageant career, Sharmell would join WCW as one of their Nitro Girls under the name Storm. It would not be long after she joined that the Nitro Girls took more active roles in the company, and Sharmell, re-named Paisley, would begin managing some of the roster’s lower card members, including The Artist and Kwee Wee.
It was during her time in WCW that she would meet her future husband, Booker T. It’s with her husband and a move to WWE that Sharmell would really find her footing as Queen Sharmell. Following Booker T’s victory in the 2006 King of the Ring tournament, the two became a focal point for Smackdown. Between their fake British accents and overly pompous behavior, the two quickly became the top heels of the brand.
During this time, Booker would become the World Heavyweight Champion, where Sharmell would help him retain, most notably against Batista at the 2006 SummerSlam by kicking “The Animal” and drawing the disqualification. While Sharmell has a few notable matches, her contributions as a manager have left a much bigger impact on the industry, as she showed a terrific blueprint for any aspiring managers to look to for inspiration in their careers.
