AJ Styles has already made a name for himself before he made his WWE debut in 2016. However, there is still much to learn about The Phenomenal One
WWE
AJ did not have his first WWE match in 2016 but in 2001 during a dark match. The company wanted to sign him the following year but chose TNA instead.

AJ met several people while outside WWE, one being Christopher Daniels. They were so close that Styles named his first son, Ajay Covell Jones, after Daniels.

Styles mainly made his name while in TNA, which is why it's unsurprising that he considered re-signing there instead of signing with WWE in 2016.
