Allen Neal Jones, better known by his ring name AJ Styles, is a retired American professional wrestler widely regarded as one of the best in-ring performers of his generation. He began his career in the late 1990s, later gaining prominence in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where he became a cornerstone of the promotion and a multi-time world champion. Styles helped define the X-Division with his high-flying, technical style, and earned accolades for his work in TNA from 2002 to 2014. After leaving TNA, he found success internationally, particularly in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), where he led the Bullet Club and won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship twice.
