AJ Styles was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by the Good Brothers Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows.
Gallows and Anderson talked about Styles’ runs through TNA as the center and soul, in NJPW as the person who pushed Bullet Club into the mainstream, and WWE where he became the “Face Who Runs The Place.” They said that twice he had made the decision to them and asked in the event that they wanted to affix him in WWE, and each times they immediately said yes.
Gallows called on Anderson to perform one last ‘Machine Gun’ to introduce Styles, which he obliged, and Styles got here out to embrace his long-time friends and get to his speech. He said that he has been continually asked since retiring in January whether he misses wrestling. That prompted a chant from the group for “One More Match,” to which he said that makes things complicated.
As he would get on to later, the reality is he doesn’t miss wrestling because he now gets to go home and spend time along with his family. He turned his attention to each promoter and colleague he has ever worked with, thanking them and saying that if he had ever told them he loved them, then he meant it.
He said his recent role with WWE puts him within the position to search out “the following Phenomenal One,” and allows him to proceed to be involved in wrestling without being a wrestler. And with that, he drew his speech to a detailed, and thus, the ceremony to seal his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2026.
