Avery Styles has signed his first professional contract with TNA!
Indeed, AJ Styles’ son announced during TNA Lockdown 2026 that he was officially under contract with the promotion. It was also his first appearance on TNA’s screens at a pay-per-view.
Avery Styles grabbed the microphone to declare that TNA means a lot to him and AJ Styles. So he too must go through TNA in order to become what he wants to become. He was interrupted by Frankie Kazarian. Kazarian emphasized how close he and his father have been friends for many years.
He warned Avery Styles to beware backstage people who will want to come after him because of his family name, but he will always be there to help him. A rookie-veteran alliance that has formed.
As mentioned on Catch-Newz, Avery Styles began his professional career only recently in June 2026 on the independent scene. Being associated with his father gave him substantial exposure quickly, and here he is with his first television contract.
AJ Styles spent time in TNA from 2002 to 2014, where he dominated the company. His son’s journey is just beginning, but it is one to watch.
