AJ Styles’ son made the announcement at Lockdown
Summary
– Avery Styles announced that he has officially signed with TNA Wrestling
– The announcement took place during TNA Lockdown in Chicago
– Frankie Kazarian welcomed Styles while warning him about the locker room
Avery Styles has officially signed with TNA Wrestling, announcing the company’s Lockdown event on August 23 in Chicago.
The son of AJ Styles had previously been announced for an appearance at Lockdown, but his role was not revealed beforehand. Avery used his time on the show to confirm that he had signed with the promotion, officially beginning his own chapter with TNA.
Frankie Kazarian came out following the announcement and congratulated Styles on joining the company. Kazarian also warned him that several wrestlers backstage might have reasons to target him and said Avery would need to be careful about whom he trusted.
Kazarian then positioned himself as someone Avery could rely on, telling the newcomer that while others could not be trusted, he could. The exchange immediately created intrigue around where TNA could take Styles following his signing.
The move carries extra significance because of his family’s history with the promotion. AJ Styles spent more than a decade with TNA and became one of the most important wrestlers associated with the company during its early years.
AJ captured multiple championships during his run, including the TNA World Championship and X Division Championship, before leaving the promotion. Now, Avery Styles is officially joining the same company where his father built much of his wrestling legacy.
