Overview
- Avery Jones, billed as Avery Styles, made his professional in-ring debut for Squared Circle Action in Royston, Georgia, which took place Friday and ended with him defeating Ashton Martin.
- A.J. Styles was in his son's corner, briefly entered the ring, and counted the pin, a moment outlets described as a symbolic passing of the torch.
- Video clips that Avery and other accounts posted on Instagram showed him sliding under the guardrail and springboarding off it to hit a Phenomenal Forearm that echoed his father's signature moves.
- A.J. praised both Avery and Ashton for their work on his Phenomenally Retro podcast, but there is no public confirmation that Avery has signed with WWE or any other major promotion.
- The debut highlights the common path for second-generation wrestlers to start on the indie scene and suggests the next steps to watch are further bookings, longer match footage, and any official promotion signings.
