Allen Neal Jones, also known as “AJ Styles” in the WWE, is a professional wrestler and is one half of the current WWE Raw Tag Team Champions alongside his partner Tolulope Omogbehin or “Omos.” But how much is the wrestling superstar currently worth?
Styles made his debut in the WWE in 2016, where he won the WWE Championship. Nicknamed “The Phenomenal One,” Styles continued to make a name for himself on the global stage, winning the WWE Intercontinental Championship and the WWE United States Championship three times. The professional athlete currently has an estimated net worth of $6 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth.
But salaries of wrestlers with the WWE, unlike other professional sports such as basketball and soccer, are not publicly revealed. Each individual acts as an independent contractor when they make business with the company.
Before his rise to stardom with WWE, Styles had already been building up his career at various wrestling promotions, including the NWA, WCW, WWF and TNA. One of his most pivotal moments was when he joined Ring of Honor (ROH) and quickly became a main card performer, fighting in several championship matches.
Styles also had the chance to face off against a young CM Punk, beating him on two separate occasions. His time with TNA allowed the wrestler to bag the first-ever X-Division Championship, as per Essentially Sports.
The iconic athlete also teamed up with the legendary Kurt Angle in 2012, getting widespread recognition for his skills in the ring. He later left TNA after reports of negotiations breaking down, with his new contract allegedly reducing his salary by 60% despite his contributions to the promotion. Styles then returned to ROH for two years, competing in the ring on a regular basis.
The wrestler was also named the sixth-highest paid wrestler from 2016 to 2017 with an estimated income of $2.4 million. Styles’ wealth increased the next year as he was once again included in Forbes’ list of highest-paid wrestlers with $3.5 million, putting him in fourth place.
Styles’ most recent achievement in the WWE scene is winning the Raw Tag Team Championship with his partner Omos on Apr. 10, 2021. The duo recently defended their title with former champions “The Viking Raiders” at a Money in the Bank match in July, according to Bleacher Report.
