Stephanie McMahon has sent a message after The Undertaker shocked the world with a huge AJ Styles announcement on RAW.

AJ Styles went into the Royal Rumble knowing that he had to win to keep his legendary career going. Unfortunately, he ran into a man making a career out of killing those of others as Gunther put Styles to sleep, forcing the referee to ring the bell and forcing Styles into retirement.

After that match, Styles teased leaving his gloves in the ring but stopped short of doing so, teasing that he could still return to the ring somewhere down the line. But that looks less likely after RAW in Atlanta, Georgia.

A tribute to Styles was paid by WWE in his home state of Georgia on RAW, and on this occasion, Styles did leave his gloves and jacket in the ring, indicating his time in the ring was now over.

A major surprise was to come as The Undertaker came to the ring to announce that AJ Styles would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in the Class of 2026.

The Undertaker was also the man who delivered the same Hall of Fame message to Stephanie McMahon when she became the first inductee into the Class of 2026, and now she’s broken her silence on the Styles revelation.

Taking to social media, Stephanie McMahon noted that The Undertaker is making a habit of surprising stars with Hall of Fame announcements:

You’re starting to make a habit out of this @undertaker! You got him too! Congratulations @AJStylesOrg!!! Honored to be a part of the same class as you! #WWEHOF2026!
