AJ Styles’ advertised WWE RAW appearance in Atlanta was already shaping up to be a major moment — but now there’s an even bigger backstage name in the building.
According to WrestleVotes during a Q&A session on February 23, 2026, The Undertaker is currently backstage for tonight’s episode of Monday Night RAW: “We did see that The Undertaker is in Atlanta for the show tonight.”
That’s a major development, especially with RAW set to feature a major on-screen celebration for AJ Styles in a city deeply tied to his wrestling roots. Bryan Alvarez previously reported that SmackDown talent was being flown in for the segment, indicating WWE is treating this as more than just a standard promo appearance. Styles was retired by GUNTHER at the 2026 Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia, making this his first advertised appearance since that loss.
Now, with The Undertaker backstage in Atlanta, speculation is ramping up about whether he could play a role in the segment. The Undertaker has historically been reserved for special appearances, and he has a lot of history with the Phenomenal One as well.
Atlanta already carries major significance for Styles due to his Georgia wrestling roots. Adding The Undertaker to the mix raises the stakes even further — and suggests WWE may be planning something far more impactful than a simple tribute. If The Undertaker does appear on-screen, it could turn AJ Styles’ segment into one of the most talked-about RAW moments of the year.
