Sunday’s TNA Lockdown 2026 event at the Credit Union 1 Arena in Chicago, Illinois featured Avery Styles, son of WWE Hall of Famer AJ Styles, making an appearance.
During the show, TNA interviewer Gia Miller welcomed Styles out to the stage who came out to greet her. After some words about what TNA means to his family, Styles announced that he has officially signed a contract with TNA Wrestling.
This led to Frankie Kazarian coming out to interrupt and talked about how he considers himself to be like a brother to AJ Styles. Kazarian warned Styles to be careful who he trusts since there are a lot of snakes in the locker room.
