Jones (earlier he wasn't called AJ) discussed his harsh childhood in the DVD Phenomenal: The Best of A.J. Styles: Volume 2, where he talks about growing up in poverty with an abusive and alcoholic father. He entered wrestling school because his friends were doing it, to find out that he was a natural at the sport. AJ had to suffer a lot in his childhood says.He said that they even didn't have any money for cable 😞. But he never gave up.
Jones attended college in Anderson, South Carolina, on a partial wrestling scholarship after graduating from Johnson High School in Gainesville, Georgia, class of 1996. He wanted to become a pro footballer but when he entered college his friends suggested him to wrestle which means that AJ is all by himself and no family bloodline or something like that. That's what makes AJ phenomenal.
During the early years of his professional wrestling career, Jones worked an assortment of jobs on the weekends to supplement his income, including delivering water and driving.
