Nineteen‑year‑old Avery Styles, son of WWE Hall of Famer AJ Styles, began building his in‑ring résumé with a June 26 debut for Squared Circle Action, where he defeated Ashton Martin using a spring‑board forearm. He subsequently filed a trademark for his name to protect his emerging brand.

A July 9 announcement slated Avery for Game Changer Wrestling appearances on July 31 in Omaha, Nebraska, and on August 1 at the GCW Awakening event in Minneapolis, aligning with WWE’s SummerSlam weekend.

On August 1, Avery made his GCW debut at the Top Play event in Omaha, entering to his father’s former entrance music and defeating Alex Lev with the Spiral Tap finisher. The win featured a shooting‑star press, a reverse DDT and other signature moves, drawing strong crowd support. A post‑match confrontation with Marcus Mathers set up a future bout at GCW Rude Awakening in Minneapolis during the SummerSlam weekend. AJ Styles continues to publicly endorse his son’s progress.
