The next inductee into the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame class has been confirmed during tonight’s February 23 edition of Raw.
The final segment of the show tonight was a tribute to the career of AJ Styles following his retirement at the Royal Rumble.
Styles came to the ring and said his goodbyes, thanking a number of the influential names throughout his career and discussing how much his family means to him as they were sat in the front row.
He said his “biggest flex” isn’t all the titles he’s won, but the fact he has the best wife in the world as she never held him back during his career and raised their family while he was on the road.
Styles also addressed why he didn’t take off his gloves at WWE Royal Rumble – because he wanted to take them off tonight in his home state of Georgia instead, and that’s exactly what he did.
The WWE locker room and other names who were in the house for his retirement including former TNA World Champion Frankie Kazarian, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson then all came out onto the stage to applaud Styles.
The Undertaker then made his own entrance separately and joined Styles in the ring, announcing that Styles will be inducted into the 2026 class of the WWE Hall of Fame.
Styles joins Stephanie McMahon as the two names confirmed for this year’s Hall of Fame so far.
