41-Year-Old Star Requests WWE to Induct Him Into the Hall of Fame Alongside AJ Styles

The Undertaker honored AJ Styles on Raw as he retired and was inducted into the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame, with rosters and past colleagues paying tribute.

  • Surprising viewers at the show's close, The Undertaker rode out and revealed AJ Styles as the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame inductee, ending the broadcast in Atlanta.
  • With his contract reportedly expiring this month, Styles and WWE were reportedly in talks and left his gear in the ring as a farewell.
  • Old friends and former colleagues filled the stage, with The Good Brothers, Frankie Kazarian, and Abyss paying tribute while Stephanie McMahon headlines this year's Hall of Fame class.
  • The induction likely cements Styles' retirement, putting `one more match` rumors to rest and making AEW and New Japan appearances unlikely, though a TNA Hall of Fame induction this year remains possible.
  • Other members of the 2026 Hall of Fame class remain unrevealed while BodySlam reports WWE would like John Cena to induct Styles, despite fans pushing for a TNA or AEW finish this year.
