TNA’s Avery Styles is a bit of a black hole right now, mostly due to the fact that he’s the rookie son of WWE Hall of Famer AJ Styles. was involved in a dispute over the placement of chairsand he had his first big match in TNA this past weekend at Bound for Fameparticipating in a Call Your Shot battle royal that lasted all the way to the final four before being eliminated by AJ Francis. But last week the 19-year-old tried to shed some light on who he is during a speech “Lost Open Radio”. And one thing fans found out was that Styles really loved his TNA co-head Rich Swann.
“He’s funny, one of the funniest guys I’ve ever met,” Stiles said. “I really like him. So that will be a great match as well. That will be great.”
Swann and Styles have yet to meet in a TNA ring, instead Swann appeared in a Seven Way match at Bound for Glory for the vacant X-Division Championship, which was won by The Amazing Red. Styles’ connection with Swann seems to have less to do with Swann’s athletic ability and more to do with how they gel outside of the ring, something Styles noted happened immediately.
“We just hit it off,” Stiles said. “I love his energy. I’ve never seen anyone like him. He’s the funniest guy I’ve ever met in my life.”
It wasn’t that long ago that Swann was one of the top names in TNA, holding the TNA World Heavyweight Championship for over 180 days between 2020 and 2021. Swann was also briefly an employee of Styles’ father during his several years in WWE, though the two had never worked together before. Swann was released in 2018 after being arrested for domestic violence.
