Avery Styles signs with TNA Wrestling

Avery Styles has officially signed with TNA Wrestling, a move announced during the Lockdown 2026 event. The 19-year-old wrestler is the son of Hall of Famer AJ Styles, who was a defining star for the promotion.

AJ Styles explained on his podcast that while Avery will continue to compete on the independent circuit, TNA provides essential television experience. He emphasized that working for a televised promotion teaches wrestlers how to manage strict timing requirements, such as hitting specific cues before and after commercial breaks.

Avery made his TNA debut at the Lockdown event on August 23, 2026, and has since participated in television tapings in Brampton, Ontario. His rapid progression into a major promotion comes just months after his professional debut and in the same year as his father's retirement from in-ring competition.
