Kevin Nash Disagrees With AJ Styles That WWE Hall Of Fame Should Be Every Other Year

On the latest episode of Kliq This, Kevin Nash pushed back on AJ Styles’ suggestion that the WWE Hall of Fame should be held every other year rather than annually. He acknowledged why Styles might feel that way given the unique circumstances of his own induction, but disagreed with the idea on principle.

Styles, who retired at the 2026 Royal Rumble after 28 years in the business, made history as the first performer to be inducted into the Hall of Fame in the same year as their final match. You can check out some highlights below:

On the Hall of Fame:

“It’s a big deal for the NFL Hall of Fame, it’s a big deal for the baseball, for the NBA. I just think that it’s a yearly [thing]. There’s so many people that — like, we were sitting there and there’s Haku, who’s not in the Hall of Fame. There’s Arn Anderson who’s not in the Hall of Fame. And it’s just like, you see something like Kenny Lofton when he was with the Indians. And you see Kenny Lofton’s stats, and he batted like .298, had like 2600 hits. Stole f**king 60 bases a year. Had better stats than nine guys in different categories, yet he didn’t make it on his first ballot and was never brought back up.”

On Disagreeing With Styles:

“So you see that, and it’s just like — AJ is the first first-ballot guy that’s ever went in. He had his last match this year, and he went in. So that’s the first person that that’s happened to. So, I respect AJ and I get it for him having that comment. But if it’s every other year, there’s going to be a lot less guys in it, and there’s going to be a lot more f**king gaps of f**king people that just don’t get considered.”
