AJ Styles watches his son’s first match in Georgia
Summary
– Avery Styles made his pro wrestling debut at SCA Wrestling’s Freedom Fling event
– AJ Styles was advertised to be in his son’s corner for the match in Royston, Georgia
– Avery defeated Ashton Martin and used a Phenomenal Forearm during the bout
The Styles family now has another name inside the ring.
Avery Styles made his professional wrestling debut on June 26 at SCA Wrestling’s Freedom Fling event. The show took place at the Royston Dome in Royston, Georgia.
Avery faced Ashton Martin in singles action and was listed as the winner. AJ Styles was advertised to be ringside for the match, giving the debut a major family connection.
The moment quickly gained attention after Avery shared footage from the bout on Instagram Stories. One clip showed him sliding under the guardrail at ringside before launching into a Phenomenal Forearm.
That move made the debut feel even more connected to his father’s legacy. AJ Styles turned the Phenomenal Forearm into one of his signature weapons, and Avery’s use of it in his first match gave fans an immediate talking point.
Avery had already hinted that he was training for wrestling. In May, he posted a video of himself hitting the Spiral Tap onto a crash pad.
AJ has also spoken before about the possibility of one day sharing the ring with his son. After the 2026 Royal Rumble, he said the chance to tag with Avery could be something special if his son chose wrestling.
That idea feels more real now. Avery has completed his first match, won, and started his own path in the business.
It is still early, but his debut already has fans curious. With AJ Styles in his corner and a familiar move in his arsenal, Avery’s next steps will be worth watching.
