After weeks of speculation, the answer to why AJ Styles kept his gloves on after his (supposed) final match against Gunther are now here: He wanted to leave them in his hometown of Atlanta Georgia.
There was no swerve or final FINAL match announced. But we did learn that he WILL be headed to the WWE Hall of Fame as the first induction of the 2026 class.
We also need to talk about the Vision: They suffered yet another loss in membership with Bronson Reed out for the foreseeable future with a significant injury. Where does this group here with the story of Seth Rollins, the box, and the masked man left unresolved?
