Avery Styles isn’t just getting wrestling advice from his famous father — he’s already gotten some time inside WWE’s Performance Center.
AJ Styles revealed on The AJ Styles Show that his son had the opportunity to train at WWE’s Orlando facility while AJ was there. Instead of taking over the process himself, Styles wanted Avery learning from other people inside WWE.
“I like that he had the opportunity to come down to the Performance Center because, well, I’m down here, and get coached by other people — not by me, by other people. I think that was good for him.”
Avery has also spent time training at Natalya and TJ Wilson’s Dungeon, and AJ made it clear that experience was a big deal for his son. Styles said any wrestler lucky enough to get an invitation there shouldn’t even think about passing it up.
“Going down to the Dungeon was huge. If you ever get invited, go to the Dungeon. Don’t make the mistake of missing that. It is a learning experience, man. It is unbelievable.”
Styles didn’t stop there. He praised the way the Dungeon operates and said wrestlers are able to learn from everyone around them while actually getting meaningful ring time.
“I’ve said great things about the Dungeon, and I’ll say it again: this is the way these places need to be run. You’ve got to know wrestling and you’ve got to be trained somewhat, but then you get in there and you’re able to learn from everybody else while still being in the ring with them. It’s very well run.”
AJ also gave Natalya major credit for the atmosphere she helps create during those sessions.
“Natty is amazing at this. She does a spectacular job. I’m always impressed with how they do it. And that ring, when you’re done, there is sweat everywhere. Everybody is killing it, and they’re so excited to be there. It’s just an amazing atmosphere. Honestly, the Dungeon is what everybody should strive to be.”
When asked how Avery handled his time at both the Dungeon and WWE Performance Center, Styles explained that working with different wrestlers is exactly what a young talent needs. It isn’t simply about learning moves either. AJ said those sessions force wrestlers to develop their timing and train their brains to remember everything happening inside a match.
“I think that anytime you can get in there and work with other people, you’re going to learn more. Even if it’s two newer guys, they learn timing and everything. But what the Dungeon does is help you remember so many things going on at one time.”
Avery Styles is still early in his wrestling career, but he’s already getting access to two serious training environments while learning from people other than his father. AJ clearly isn’t interested in handing his son everything himself — he wants Avery getting different voices, different experiences and earning his way through the business.
