Avery Styles is officially part of the TNA Wrestling roster following a notable appearance at Sunday’s TNA Lockdown 2026.

The son of WWE Hall of Famer AJ Styles appeared during the event at the Credit Union 1 Arena in Chicago, Illinois, where he was introduced on stage by TNA interviewer Gia Miller.

Styles spoke about the significance TNA has held for his family, particularly given his father’s legendary history with the promotion. He then delivered some major news of his own, revealing that he has officially signed a contract with TNA Wrestling.

The announcement did not go uninterrupted, however, as Frankie Kazarian made his way out to confront the newest member of the roster.

Kazarian brought up his long history with AJ Styles and described himself as being like a brother to the former TNA World Champion. He then offered Avery some advice as he begins his own chapter with the company, warning him to be careful about who he chooses to trust due to the "snakes" lurking within the TNA locker room.

The exchange immediately provided some potential intrigue surrounding Styles' arrival and what could be ahead for him following his signing.

TNA later confirmed the news following the segment, officially announcing that Avery Styles had signed with the company.

AJ Styles remains one of the most important names in TNA history, making his son's decision to begin his own journey with the promotion a particularly significant moment.
