AJ Styles Was Genuinely Surprised By WWE Hall Of Fame Announcement

In the main event of WWE Raw in Atlanta, there was an AJ Styles tribute that ended with The Undertaker informing Styles he’ll be part of the 2026 Hall of Fame class.

While speaking in a Vlog on WWE’s YouTube channel and social media outlets, Styles was shown outside the arena with his family in the background as he spoke about what the Hall of Fame announcement meant to him.

“I guess we’re going to WrestleMania, at least to the Hall of Fame, so I’m very excited, very… I don’t know, I really can’t think of the words to express how I feel.

Gratitude’s a big one, thankful, blessed, I’m just glad (his family) they were here to see it too, you know? What a place, being told you’re going into the Hall of Fame in the city that you live in.

It was gonna be a great night, and you got married. It’s awesome.”
