AJ Styles doesn’t see the benefit of sticking strictly to WWE’s annual Hall of Fame tradition.
During a recent episode of his Phenomenally Retro Podcast, the former multi-time WWE Champion shared his thoughts on the current format of the Hall of Fame ceremony and suggested a possible change.
“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,” 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.” [H/T Fightful]
Styles is set to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2026 following SmackDown. The Phenomenal One will be inducted alongside Stephanie McMahon, Demolition (Ax & Smash), Dennis Rodman, Sycho Sid, and Bad News Brown.
