Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson Appear on WWE RAW for AJ Styles Tribute

WWE followed through on its promise to honor AJ Styles — and Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson were already part of the moment.

During the February 23, 2026 edition of WWE RAW live from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, Gallows and Anderson were shown on the broadcast, confirming their involvement in the tribute to “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles. Their appearance instantly connected the dots for longtime fans who followed their journey from New Japan Pro Wrestling to WWE.

All three men famously left NJPW together before signing with WWE, helping reshape the global wrestling landscape in the process. Their bond extended beyond just storyline alliances, as their careers have been closely intertwined for years across multiple promotions. Seeing Gallows and Anderson appear on RAW for Styles’ tribute reinforced that shared history.

The AJ Styles tribute was positioned as one of the key elements of the Elimination Chamber go-home episode of RAW. Even with WrestleMania season heating up and major storyline developments unfolding throughout the night, WWE carved out time to recognize Styles’ legacy — and including The Good Brothers made the segment feel more complete.
