AJ Styles’ Son Avery Booked for GCW Dates Just Days Into His Wrestling Career

Avery Styles is wasting no time. Just days after stepping into a professional wrestling ring for the first time, the son of WWE and TNA Hall of Famer AJ Styles has already landed bookings with Game Changer Wrestling.

Avery made his in-ring debut at SCA Wrestling’s Freedom Fling event in Royston, Georgia, where he faced Ashton Martin in the main event. Shortly after, he officially trademarked his in-ring name — a clear signal that a serious career is underway. GCW has now confirmed he will appear for the promotion on July 31 in Omaha, Nebraska, and again on August 1 in Minneapolis. Opponents for both dates have not yet been announced.

His father couldn’t hide his pride. Speaking on his Phenomenally Retro podcast, AJ Styles heaped praise on both Avery and his debut opponent, saying the two young wrestlers far exceeded what he anticipated.

“I don’t think they disappointed anyone whatsoever,” Styles said. “Ashton Martin, Avery Styles, it was the main event. Listen, dude, I’ve never been so impressed with two young guys. I mean, they’re young. I think Ashton’s maybe a year, a year and a half in. And then of course, this is Avery’s debut match. And there’s a lot of things that we do with all this energy when we have that young energy that is, we use it in the wrong way. They used it really, really well. They didn’t rush through anything. They took their time on things they should have.”

AJ also pointed to a specific moment in the match that he said was executed better than he himself would have done it, though he didn’t elaborate on the details.

With GCW providing a high-profile early platform and a Hall of Fame bloodline behind him, Avery Styles is entering the wrestling world with considerable momentum — and all eyes will be on Omaha at the end of the month to see what he can do on a bigger stage.
