Stepped in as figurehead the night Prince Devitt left, and the heel reinvention made him a global star. He’s said he never saw himself as its literal leader.

Overview
Trained by Rick Michaels and breaking in on the Georgia independents in 1998, AJ Styles became the original franchise player of NWA-TNA, defining its high-flying X-Division before graduating to the main event as the company’s first-ever Triple Crown and Grand Slam Champion. He is, by acclaim, one of the greatest in-ring performers of his generation.
A 2014 move to New Japan reinvented him as the cocky figurehead of the Bullet Club and a two-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion, cementing his reputation as the best wrestler outside WWE. That reputation drove a phenomenal 2016 WWE debut: a two-time WWE Champion whose second reign ran 371 days, he headlined WrestleMania and proved an independent star with no developmental pedigree could rule the main event, before bowing out against Gunther at the 2026 Royal Rumble.
