Hello guys, welcome back to Amolipi channel, where you can learn more interesting information about
your favorite actors and athletes. In today's video, let's take a look at the career and some
interesting facts of one of the world's best professional wrestlers, A.J. Styles.
Allen Neal Jones was born at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina
on June 2, 1977. AJ Styles, as he is widely known, is a very successful pro wrestler who is currently
contracted for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), where he performs on the Raw brand,
and is one half of the current WWE Raw Tag Team Champions with Omos in their first reign. He
is also known for his time in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
Jones was raised in poverty with an abusive, alcoholic father. The family's poverty was such
that they could not afford cable television, which resulted in Jones being unable to watch
professional wrestling, his childhood passion. Jones left Anderson University in Anderson,
South Carolina, where he was on a partial wrestling scholarship, to try professional
wrestling. He entered a professional wrestling school because his friends were doing it and to
find out whether he had a natural aptitude for it. To supplement his income, he worked
by mowing lawns and driving an ambulance.
Jones has been married to school teacher
Wendy Jones. He dated his wife for nearly four years before taking her to the altar and tying
the knotty knots in a beautiful wedding ceremony in 2000. They have three sons:
Ajay Covell Jones (born 2005), Avery Jones (born 2007), and Albey Jones (born 2009),
and a daughter, Anney Jones (born 2014). The family lives in Gainesville, Georgia.
AJ Styles began his professional wrestling career in 1998, competed for various independent
promotions before gaining initial mainstream exposure in World Championship Wrestling
(WCW) in 2001. Styles became widely known after signing with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA,
now known as Impact Wrestling), who described him as "the cornerstone of the company since
inception". He won the TNA World Heavyweight Championship twice, the NWA World Heavyweight
Championship three times, and was the inaugural titleholder of the X Division Championship,
which he won six times. He is also the first TNA Triple Crown and Grand Slam champion. Styles
simultaneously appeared in Ring of Honor (ROH) from 2002 to 2006, where he became the inaugural
ROH Pure Champion, and wrestled in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) between 2014 and 2016, where
he won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship twice. Styles first appeared in World Wrestling
Federation (WWF, now WWE) in 2002, but declined a developmental contract. He returned to the company
in 2016, and won the WWE Championship twice; with his second victory in Manchester, Styles is
recognized by WWE as the first wrestler to win the title outside North America. At 371 days,
this is the eighth-longest reign in title history. He also won the United States Championship three
times, and the Intercontinental Championship and the Raw Tag Team Championship once each,
thus becoming the second wrestler (after Kurt Angle) to become a TNA/Impact and WWE Triple
Crown winner, and the first to become both a TNA/Impact and WWE Grand Slam champion.

Long considered one of the world's best professional wrestlers, Styles has headlined
numerous pay-per-view events, including the respective premier events of WWE and TNA,
WrestleMania and Bound for Glory. He ranked atop the annual Pro Wrestling Illustrated 500 in 2010,
the first TNA wrestler to do so, was voted PWI Wrestler of the Year three times between 2016 and
2018, and Wrestler of the Decade in 2020. Styles also won ten Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards,
including Wrestler of the Year in 2015 and 2016, and was inducted in their Hall of Fame in 2017.
As of 2021, AJ Style’s net worth stands at $6 million.
His source of income can be credited to his dedication to his wrestling career.
In 2010, Jones acquired a large tattoo down the right side of his torso which reads
"AJ 05-03-05 02-14-07 09-15-09", representing his initials and birth dates of his first three
children. In 2016, he added the birth date of his fourth child, reading "10-08-14".
AJ Styles is a dedicated Christian, stating that in his life, "It's God first and family second."
He's also said that for the most part, people in wrestling are respectful of his religious
views but he has had a few people try to get a rise out of him for his beliefs.
He is a big fan of Christian hip hop music and video games,
specifically retro games from the 1980s and 1990s.
Styles is also an internet streamer. He regularly streams
games under the name 'STYLESCLASH' on Twitch. So how do you think about him? Leave a comment
