AJ Styles has commented on his upcoming WWE Hall of Fame induction and who’ll be inducting him at the ceremony.

Styles joins Stephanie McMahon, Demolition, Dennis Rodman and legacy inductees Psycho Sid and Bad News Brown in the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame class, just three months removed from his in-ring retirement.

Appearing on the Bella Twins’ Nikki & Brie Show today, Styles was asked about his Hall of Fame induction and how he’s feeling. He replied:

“Anxious to get it over with, I think. When I’m nervous or whatever it is I might be feeling, I just want to get it over with. I don’t wanna have to deal with it.

“I’ll be honest with you, WrestleMania’s one of those things I was like, ‘Let’s just get it over with. Let’s just get through this.’ Because there’s so much going on.”

It was The Undertaker who appeared on WWE Raw during Styles’ retirement celebration to deliver the news of his Hall of Fame induction.

Who Should Induct AJ Styles Into WWE Hall Of Fame

There are plenty of names who should be available that could induct AJ Styles, despite him saying there are some who aren’t able to.

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson did appear on WWE Raw for his retirement segment, so it appears they are on good enough terms and could be in a position to do the induction.

Another possibility would be producer Chris Park, who previously worked with Styles in TNA as Abyss.

John Cena would probably be the most glamorous option ahead of him hosting WrestleMania tomorrow, but that may depend on his availability and if it was the case, he probably would have been announced in advance to boost ticket sales.

Other potential inductors could include Bobby Roode and Xavier Woods who have histories with Styles dating back to TNA as well.
