Styles entered a wrestling school while in school, just out of fun, because his friends were trying their hands at that. He didn’t even like it initially but slowly, wrestling grew onto him and he started taking it more seriously.
Styles graduated from Johnson High School in Georgia, and attended a college in South Carolina, on a scholarship he received due to his wrestling prowess. At the initial stage of his career, while looking to sustain himself as a wrestler, Styles did odd jobs, such as driving and supplying water to houses, to make the ends meet.

In 2009, Styles won the TNA World Heavyweight Championship in a five way grand match against the likes of Matt Morgan, Sting, Kurt Angle and Hernandez. He defended his title several times, eventually becoming a storyline villain, due to his cheats where he took the help of Ric Flair in the matches. However, Rob Van Dam ended Style’s Reign in 2010. Several attempts were made by Styles to regain the title, but in vain.
In July 2010, Styles defeated Terry to get his hands on Global Championship, which he ended up losing shortly after. In 2012, he teamed up with Kurt Angle in a tag team and defeated Daniels and Kazarian to win the TNA World Tag Team Championship, which they lost to the same team a few weeks later and ended up unsuccessfully challenging the tag team champions a few times.
Styles made a return to Ring of Honor in 2014 and defeated Roderick Strong in his very first match upon his return and quickly became the first contender for the ROH World Heavyweight Championship, but in the match he was defeated by champion Jay Lethal.
It was confirmed by WWE officials in January 2016 that styles was joining WWE and in the title shot at a Royal Rumble Match, he was eliminated in under 30 minutes, losing the title and started a long lasting feud with Chris Jericho, who was bitter at Styles for losing a tag team match, which they fought together.
