The current IMPACT X-Division Champion Ace Austin recently spoke to Chris Van Vliet. The young superstar spoke on multiple topics, including his embarrassing fan moment with AJ Styles in 2014.

AJ Styles was a major part of IMPACT Wrestling and was still with the company in 2014. It was during this time that a young Ace Austin got inside the ring with Styles to get his photograph clicked. Unfortunately for Austin, he lost his balance and fell:

"For $20 I got a photo of me and AJ Styles in the ring when I went to an IMPACT Show in 2014. I had never been in a ring before that. As soon as I stepped on the canvas, it was like nothing I stepped on before. I lost my balance, total fail."

It is ironic that after seven years, Austin has become a champion in the very company where he first stepped foot in the ring.
