Allen Neal Jones (born June 2, 1977), best known by the ring name AJ Styles (also stylized as A.J. Styles), is an American professional wrestler currently signed to WWE on the SmackDown brand.
Styles, who has long been regarded as one of the world's greatest professional wrestlers, is widely known for his tenure in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) from 2002–2013, where he was dubbed "Mr. TNA", and was the public face of TNA for over 11 years. While in TNA, Styles held the NWA World Heavyweight Championship three times and the TNA World Heavyweight Championship twice. He was also the first X Division Champion, a title he held six times. Styles is the first professional wrestler ever to complete the TNA Triple Crown (five times) and the TNA Grand Slam (two times). In 2010, Styles became the first ever TNA-contracted wrestler to be ranked number one on Pro Wrestling Illustrated's annual PWI 500 list. He simultaneously appeared in Ring of Honor (ROH) from 2002–2006, winning the ROH World Tag Team Championship (with Amazing Red) and becoming the first ROH Pure Champion. In 2014, he signed with New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) and won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship in his first match with the company, later becoming the leader of the Bullet Club. He competed on the independent circuit, winning titles such as the PWG World Championship and the RPW British Heavyweight Championship, among many others.
