AJ Styles’ son, Avery Styles, has made his professional wrestling debut.

Avery wrestled at the Royston Dome in Royston, Georgia, on Friday, June 26 at SCA Wrestling’s Freedom Fling event. He posted footage of the match to his Instagram Stories, and in one clip, he can be seen sliding under the guardrail at ringside before giving his opponent a Phenomenal Forearm.

Online reports listed Avery as defeating Ashton Martin on the show. AJ Styles was advertised to be in his son’s corner for the match.

AJ Styles addresses potentially wrestling with his son

AJ Styles addressed the idea of potentially wrestling with his son following his loss to Gunther at the 2026 Royal Rumble.

Styles was hesitant to say that he would never wrestle again, mentioning that he would potentially like the opportunity to team with his son someday.

“I mean, what if my son wrestles? The opportunity to tag with him once. You never know,” Styles said.

In May, Avery Styles shared a training video of himself performing AJ Styles’ Spiral Tap onto a crash pad.
