USA President Donald Trump is one of the celebrities who has appeared on WWE and been inducted to the Hall of Fame. He even has his own bio page on the WWE website. However, the most famous appearance of his came at WrestleMania 23 after Mr McMahon challenged Trump to a “Battle of Billionaires” with the stipulation that the loser of the match would have his head shaved bald on live TV.
