On the February 23 edition of Monday Night Raw, AJ Styles received a touching and emotional tribute from WWE and the fans in his home state of Georgia.
To end the night, The Undertaker made a surprise appearance to reveal that Styles was heading to the WWE Hall of Fame 2026.
With all the notable talent who were part of this special night for ‘The Phenomenal One,’ it should be interesting to see who will be inducting Styles into this year’s Hall of Fame in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Here are ten individuals who could potentially induct AJ Styles into the WWE Hall of Fame 2026.
10. The Undertaker
As mentioned before, AJ Styles’ WWE Hall of Fame 2026 induction was announced personally by The Undertaker.
The history between the two men is well documented with Styles and Taker facing each other in the night one main event of WrestleMania 36 in 2020.
With their famous Boneyard Match now in the rearview mirror, Styles and Taker have a special bond with each other due to the conditions in which they had that bout back during the pandemic.
Considering his presence during this tribute in Atlanta, it would make sense if ‘The Deadman’ was the individual to induct Styles into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2026.

9. Abyss (Chris Park)
Several different names appeared during the special AJ Styles tribute on the February 23 edition of WWE Raw.
One of those names was backstage producer Chris Park – also known as former TNA World Champion Abyss.
Abyss is someone who has been working with AJ Styles since their days in TNA Wrestling.
After a memorable rivalry with one another and being former TNA World Tag Team Champions, Abyss feels like a good choice to induct Styles this April in Las Vegas.

8. Xavier Woods
AJ Styles has several friends that he made during his time in TNA Wrestling that he now works with in WWE.
One of those former TNA stars is Xavier Woods, who was first introduced to TNA by Styles and has been present for Styles’ entire time in WWE over the past decade.
Whether it be facing each other in the ring or traveling the world with one another, Styles and Woods have spent so much time with each other and are good friends.
Woods getting the honor of inducting Styles into the WWE Hall of Fame 2026 would be huge for him and would give the fans a lot of fun stories about his time with ‘The Phenomenal One’ over the years.

7. Dixie Carter
Considering WWE brought in several stars from Friday Night SmackDown and his days in TNA Wrestling in for his tribute on the February 23 Raw, there could be some outside names who are brought in for AJ Styles’ Hall of Fame induction.
One person who was not seen during the Styles tribute was former TNA Wrestling owner Dixie Carter.
Having spent nearly her entire run in TNA with Styles, Carter is someone who has a polarizing relationship with ‘The Phenomenal One.’
Having Carter tell the story of Styles going from TNA to NJPW to WWE would give his Hall of Fame induction speech a different perspective than usual inductions.

6. Bobby Roode
Another major name who was present for AJ Styles’ tribute in Atlanta, Georgia is Bobby Roode.
Dating back to the early days of TNA Wrestling, Roode and Styles became friends and have worked together on numerous occasions.
In recent years, Roode has moved away from in-ring competition into a backstage role in WWE.
It would be interesting to see someone who has worked with Styles in several different ways over the past two decades induct him into the WWE Hall of Fame 2026.

5. John Cena
During his 10-year run in WWE, AJ Styles has faced and feuded with a who’s who of legends in the company’s history.
Among all those iconic names that have faced ‘The Phenomenal One’ over the past decade, John Cena has to be the greatest rival in Styles’ entire WWE stint.
With several classic battles from 2016 to 2025, Styles and Cena have left their imprint as one of the best feuds in recent WWE history.
Whether it be going to war over the WWE Championship or their most recent epic at Crown Jewel 2025, it seems like a logical choice for Cena to induct Styles into the Hall of Fame class of 2026 in Las Vegas.

4. Kurt Angle
One of the biggest names to sign with TNA Wrestling during AJ Styles’ run with the company is Kurt Angle.
With fantastic matches with each other during the 2000s and 2010s, Angle and Styles have a wonderful connection with one another.
During Styles’ tribute on the February 23 episode of WWE Raw, Angle was one of the stars who sent a farewell message for ‘The Phenomenal One.’
Angle being brought in to induct Styles would feel appropriate with his history with him as well as the links to both WWE and TNA Wrestling.

3. The Good Brothers (Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows)
During his emotional speech to the fans and his family during his tribute, AJ Styles mentioned several different names that meant a lot to his career.
When bringing up his time in New Japan Pro Wrestling, ‘The Phenomenal One’ mentioned meeting some Good Brothers over in the country.
Stating that Gallows and Anderson taught him how to have fun in the business, fans could clearly see just how much The Good Brothers meant to Styles.
From their time together in Bullet Club and The OC to all the stories they have shared on the road, it would feel fitting to have The Good Brothers induct Styles into the WWE Hall of Fame 2026.

2. Shinsuke Nakamura
Back at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 10, AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura put on an all-time classic that stands among the greatest bouts in either man’s careers.
When ‘The King of Strong Style’ made his way to the WWE main roster, Nakamura rekindled his rivalry with Styles.
Styles and Nakamura feuded over the WWE Championship and put on some memorable encounters during their time in the company together.
Following their latest incredible match at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event in January, Nakamura feels like someone who has crafted a special bond with Styles that would feel suitable to give the induction speech for the Hall of Fame 2026.

1. Frankie Kazarian
Another longtime friend who was present for AJ Styles’ tribute on Monday Night Raw was Frankie Kazarian.
During his final speech on the February 23 Raw, Styles brought up Kazarian being part of the group of guys with him that put TNA Wrestling on the map.
With their many battles and tremendous friendship with one another, Styles and Kazarian feel like they will forever be linked to one another.
Since Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe are part of All Elite Wrestling, it should be Kazarian who receives the honor of inducting Styles into the WWE Hall of Fame 2026 this April.
