It seems like so long, but it was only at the Royal Rumble earlier this year that AJ Styles retired. While AJ Styles did end his career in Riyadh, The Phenomenal One is leaving the door open for a future match. He mentioned that he would be open to teaming or wrestling with his children. Currently, the WWE Hall of Famer is a recruiter for NXT. However, he might need to put those gloves back on soon, as Avery Jones has become more active in wrestling. Here’s the latest on AJ Styles’ son entering his father’s business.
AJ Styles’ Son Does Spiral Tap
Social media is abuzz as AJ Styles’ son recently shared a story of himself hitting a Spiral Tap. This top rope maneuver was made famous by his father.
AJ Styles used the Spiral Tap regularly early on in his career. In fact, The Phenomenal One used a Spiral Tap to put away Bully Ray and win the TNA World Title at Bound for Glory 2013.

AJ Styles is a family man, as evidenced by the tattoos along his ribcage. His family is just as passionate about him. One of his other sons, Ajay, spoke out against how Paul Levesque booked his dad just months before the legend retired.
While Ajay Jones may not have a future in WWE, Avery Jones just might. Let’s take a closer look at AJ Styles’ son.
Avery Jones’ Wrestling Background
Being a sports entertainer might be in Avery Jones’ jeans. However, the Georgia High School Association alum is also an accomplished wrestler.
Avery Jones has competed in many local amateur wrestling matches, walking out with his hand raised on a couple of occasions. In one 2024 post, he captioned his victory with the word: “Phenomenal.”
While Avery Jones has an amateur wrestling background, he is looking to transition those skills into pro wrestling. The Hall of Famer’s child is even sharing media outlet posts about his Spiral Tap. So, it looks like The Phenomenal One 2.0 is trying to capitalize on going viral.
At least this is a good story of a potential wrestling star going viral. Those other latest viral news stories saw NWA and Billy Corgan apologizing to the public!
Wrestling sons following their fathers’ footsteps is very common these days. Everyone from Tatanka’s sons to Sting’s children is entering the business. Even Ted DiBiase was lobbying for his son to make a return!
