AJ Styles Reacts To Being Told Of His WWE Hall Of Induction, Says He Feels Grateful And Blessed

AJ Styles has given his reaction to going into the WWE Hall of Fame.

On this past Monday’s RAW, the company looked to pay tribute AJ Styles in his hometown of Atlanta just weeks after his in-ring career was ended by GUNTHER at the Royal Rumble. During the segment, The Undertaker surprised both fans and Styles himself by announcing ‘The Phenomenal One’ as the latest member of the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame class. Now, AJ has given his initial response to his upcoming induction.

In a new behind the scenes video on WWE’s YouTube channel, Styles said he felt thankful and blessed about being inducted to the Hall of Fame.

“I really can’t think of the words to express how I feel. Gratitude’s a big one. Thankful. Blessed. I’m glad [his family] were here to see it, too. What a place to be told you’re going into the Hall of Fame. In the city that you live in. It was gonna be a great night and it got better.”

Styles joins Stephanie McMahon as the only two currently announced names for this year’s Hall of Fame class, with more inductees to be announced in the 50 days before the ceremony gets underway on April 17. ‘The Phenomenal One’ takes his place among the immortals as a Grand Slam Champion, including two reigns as WWE Champion.

With Styles’ wrestling career now behind him, he recently revealed what he’s set to do moving forward. You can read more about that here.
