Trending
Long-term wrestling fans have known AJ Styles, real name Allen Neal Jones, by his current in-ring name since way back when he competed for WCW in 2001.

However, as “The Phenomenal One” recalled on Atlanta, Georgia's Rock 100.5's Bailey And Southside, he originally wanted to wear a mask as a wrestler and go by the name Velocity.
Before making it to WCW, the two-time WWE Champion was quickly given the surname ‘Styles’ by a promoter one day and the name has stuck ever since (quotes via Wrestling Inc.).
"I didn't have a name. Everybody always called me 'AJ' anyway, so I stuck with AJ. And then, [the promoter] is like, 'yeah, you're tagging with Damien Still. We need a last name. Styles! Go!' That's it. That's how the name [came] about. AJ Styles. I hated it. I hated Styles for a really long time."
The veteran added that he would have been willing to use a different name in WWE if that is what the company wanted, but he is glad they allowed him to continue working as AJ Styles.
