This Monday, WWE Raw will host a special tribute to AJ Styles following his forced retirement after a career-threatening match against GUNTHER at the Royal Rumble last month. The event will take place at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, approximately an hour from Styles’ hometown of Gainesville.
