TNA, just like the WWE , hosts a Hall of Fame Ceremony, and they recently enshrined some of their promotion’s most iconic wrestlers. Before TNA hosted the Bound For Glory pay-per-view, wrestlers Rhyno and Bob Ryder were inducted into their Hall of Fame. The 2024 Class was special, but it could have been even more special if they managed to bring in AJ Styles. The Wrestling promotion planned to induct the legendary superstar, who is currently associated with WWE. However, the plans failed, and there were rumours that the WWE did not proceed with the plans. AJ Styles has finally cleared the air about the situation.

AJ Styles FINALLY Speaks Out On the TNA Hall Of Fame Induction Saga

Legendary wrestlers Rhyno and Bob Ryder were indicted in the TNA Hall of Fame Class of 2024 before the Bound For Glory pay-per-view. But as per Sean Ross Sapp, WWE superstar AJ Styles, who is also a TNA veteran, was also supposed to be inducted into the HOF. According to reports, TNA presented Styles’ induction plan to WWE, but the latter declined. According to TNA sources, the Phenomenal one’s recent injury and the ongoing storyline were key factors in the rejection. Amid the buzz, The Phenomenal One has come clean over the scenario, saying that it was he who rejected the offer and not the WWE. Styles added that he does not intends to go into the Hall of Fame as long as he remains an active wrestler.

“I’m still an active wrestler…I hope. I made the decision not to go into the TNA HOF, not WWE. I appreciate TNA, but I don’t want to go into any HOF as long as I’m still active. My choice,” AJ Styles tweeted.
