AJ Styles has beaten his own record by a considerable margin
WWE Superstar AJ Styles has now beaten his own previous record by a considerable margin.
Styles' story with World Wrestling Entertainment started in July 2001 when he gave tryouts for the company. He then made two appearances on television in 2002 against The Hurricane and Rico Constantino, respectively. However, due to some personal reasons, he declined a developmental contract offered by the Stamford-based promotion.
The Phenomenal One then made his much-awaited return to WWE in 2016. However, before signing a contract with the wrestling giant, he performed for IMPACT Wrestling (fka TNA) from 2002 to 2014.
Wrestle Features recently took to Twitter to share an amazing feat achieved by AJ Styles in just eight years of performing for WWE.
The Phenomenal One has managed to compete in 861 matches in the Stamford-based promotion, which is 53 matches more than his 13-year-long career with IMPACT Wrestling.
"AJ Styles has now had 861 matches in WWE. This is 53 more matches than he had during his time in TNA/Impact," Wrestle Features wrote on Twitter.
