A former WWE star opened up about their surprise appearance on this past Monday’s episode of RAW. The show’s final segment featured a heartfelt tribute to AJ Styles.

The Phenomenal One lost his retirement match to Gunther at Royal Rumble 2026 and made an appearance on RAW earlier this week in Atlanta, Georgia. The Undertaker showed up to announce that Styles would be going into the Hall of Fame later this year.

Former WWE stars The Good Brothers (Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows) were also at the show to honor Styles. Karl Anderson took to Instagram today to share a video of himself sharing a hug with Styles on RAW and noted that some moments didn’t need words.

“Some moments say everything without a word. Love you always, good brother. ❤️,” he wrote.

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson were let go by WWE last year but remain active in the world of professional wrestling.

AJ Styles makes a bold claim about WWE WrestleMania

AJ Styles recently opened up about his decision to retire at the Royal Rumble instead of WrestleMania 42.

The 48-year-old debuted with the company at Royal Rumble 2016 and had a memorable decade with the promotion. Speaking on RAW Recap, the former champion shared why he didn’t feel the need to retire at WrestleMania. AJ Styles suggested that The Show of Shows had lost a bit of its luster and wasn’t as special as it used to be.

“It was coming back from an injury to WrestleMania to a match that didn’t, to me, have much build. And WrestleMania, listen, I’m sorry to say, used to be the most prestigious PLE, or pay-per-view, whatever you want to call it. But to me, it has kind of lost its luster a little bit,” he said.

AJ Styles passed out in the middle of the ring in his final WWE match against Gunther at the Royal Rumble last month in Saudi Arabia. Only time will tell what the future holds for the former TNA star following his Hall of Fame induction during WrestleMania 42 weekend.
