AJ Styles has had quite the first year with World Wrestling Entertainment. Just eight months after making his debut, Styles became WWE World Champion at Backlash, and he has held on to the title ever since.
This Sunday at Royal Rumble, Styles faces John Cena in a title match, with the winner going on to defend the championship at Elimination Chamber in February. Many fans believe that Cena will be the one to end AJ Styles’ title reign, but if he doesn’t, and if someone from the SmackDown Live roster wins the Royal Rumble match, AJ Styles will find himself in the main event of WrestleMania in his second year on the WWE roster.
AJ Styles, whose real name is Allen Neal Jones, is 39 years old, and he lives in Gainesville, Georgia with his wife and four children. Here’s everything you need to know about his wife, Wendy Jones.
