AJ Styles Suggests WWE Hall Of Fame Takes Place Every Other Year
AJ Styles is set to be inducted into the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame. He will go in alongside Stephanie McMahon, Demolition (Ax & Smash), Dennis Rodman, Sycho Sid, & Bad News Brown.
The Hall of Fame has been an annual event, though some have complained about how long the event is given that it takes place after WWE SmackDown.
Speaking on his Phenomenally Retro podcast, AJ commented on the length of the event and gave a suggestion.
“I really believe we could probably do the Hall of Fame every other year, or maybe put some years in between and make it more special. I think it’s going to be really difficult to do this every year. Just a suggestion. I don’t know if it’s about money. There is a reason WrestleMania is two nights [makes money sign]. One night WrestleMania was difficult because it was a lot of matches. You didn’t want to be the main event because everyone was cooked,” he said.
Circling back to the Hall of Fame, Styles said, “Do we need it to go that long? I don’t know that we need to. I’m sure they give these guys times, ‘No longer than 30 minutes.’ An hour and a half later, ‘Alright. Wrapping it up.’ I understand it. I’m sure once I get up there, I’m thinking, ‘This won’t be long,’ but then you’ll talk about things that are important to you.”
The WWE Hall of Fame ceremony airs at midnight ET.
The event will be hosted by The Miz and Michael Cole.
