Tribute to AJ Styles

11 minutes out of 10 After a package tribute to Creed's "Higher," AJ Styles entered the squared circle to address the WWE Universe one last time.

He reminisces about his time in TNA with Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Frankie Kazarian and the rest of the revolutionary roster.He recalls the encounter between Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson in New Japan Pro-Wrestling and the number of legendary competitors he shared the ring with in WWE.

The Phenomenal One thanked his wife and children at ringside and revealed that the reason he didn't leave his gloves in the ring at the Royal Rumble was because he wanted to take them back to Atlanta and leave them at home.

As the final one took his bow, the grid ran out onto the stage and cheered on the former WWE Champion.The lights dimmed, and Undertaker made his way to the ring and came face to face with his WrestleMania 36 opponent.

The Deadman introduced Styles as the latest inductee into the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame and The Phenomenal One celebrated with his family to close out the broadcast.

11 of 11 Most of this show was centered around the AJ Styles tribute and he did it as classy and classy as possible, with a big announcement at the end.In that sense, this show was a huge success.

But in other areas, this is a bit flat.The crowd wasn't really interested in the proposed action, the in-ring action wasn't as intense as it has been in recent weeks, and there was no surprise given the PLE elimination match on Saturday.

Finn Balor not performing in front of a live audience is also a big mistake.

It's a bad show, it's true.
