AJ Styles' son Avery Styles debuts in professional wrestling in Georgia

Nineteen‑year‑old Avery Styles, the son of retired WWE Hall of Famer AJ Styles, made his professional wrestling debut on June 26, 2026. The match took place at the Freedom Fling event hosted by Squared Circle Action in the Royston Dome, Royston, Georgia. Avery faced Ashton Martin, secured a win after sliding under the ringside guardrail and delivering a Phenomenal Forearm.

AJ Styles was present in Avery's corner and, during a recent interview on Stephanie McMahon’s podcast, hinted that he might consider tagging with his son in the future. AJ retired earlier in the year after a career‑ending loss at the 2026 Royal Rumble but remains involved in training and scouting talent.
