Professional wrestling career Independent circuit (2026–present) On June 26, 2026, Jones made his debut under the ring name Avery Styles during Squared Circle Action's Freedom Fling event in Royston, Georgia in which he defeated Ashton Martin in the main event. On July 31, Styles made his Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) debut during the Top Play pay-per-view in Omaha, Nebraska, where he defeated Alexander Lev.
Reception After his match with GCW, on August 8, WWE wrestler Natalya Neidhart said in an interview that Jones was "paying his dues". However, F1RST Wrestling owner Arik Cannon, who worked on the event, accused him of "skirting responsibility". AJ Styles responded to Cannon's accusations, claiming that he was paid to wrestle and not to set up the ring. On August 11, GCW owner Brett Lauderdale defended Styles by claiming that Jones had "earned his spot" despite his rookie status in the industry. On TMZ's Inside The Ring podcast, former WWE wrestler and All Elite Wrestling (AEW) commentator Paul Wight responded to the scandal claiming that "paying the dues existed as a way for veterans to bully and intimidate younger talent".
