He's the face that runs the place, or better yet, the champ that runs the camp. The phenomenal one AJ Styles doesn't just call himself those names, he lives up to them each and every week.
When he steps into the ring, fans can be assured of a top-notch match regardless of whom he is in the ring with.
Styles first rose to prominence during his run with TNA, and during that time faced some of the best wrestlers in the world. Whether it was Kurt Angle, Sting or Samoa Joe, Styles put on classic match after classic match with all of them.
After leaving TNA, Styles headed to Japan and also competed for Ring of Honor due to the partnership between that promotion and New Japan Pro Wrestling. While he was in Japan, Styles captured the IWGP Heavyweight championship. He also faced Jay Lethal for the Ring of Honor championship.
While WWE makes mention of the fact that he competed in WCW during the last days of that promotion, they neglect to mention that he also competed for WWE. Before joining TNA, a much younger Styles auditioned for WWE on the program “Metal”.
Who knew that the man who lost that audition match fourteen years earlier would return to become the WWE champion?
