EARLY YEARS (2002-2004)
Styles debuted in the ROH in the year 2002. He wasting no time climbed up the ladder quickly and became a main event wrestler in a small amount of time. He had championship matches against Low ki at Honor invades Boston. But AJ lost the match. He became the first holder of the Number One Contender's Trophy, which was viewed within the promotion as a secondary championship at the time.
At the One Year Anniversary Show in February 2003, Styles competed against Low Ki and Paul London(was in WWE for sometime) in a three-way match, which was won by London.
After this, Styles competed by himself and defeated The Backseat Boyz (Johnny Kashmere and Trent Acid), The Carnage Crew (HC Loc and Tony DeVito), and The S.A.T. (Joel and Jose Maximo), to receive a title shot for the ROH Tag Team Championship. He chose Amazing Red as his partner, and the two defeated The Prophecy (Christopher Daniels and Xavier) to win the championship.
Paul London was not happy because AJ chose Amazing Red as his partner and not him, so it led to a feud between AJ and London.
Styles and Amazing Red defeated Briscoe Brothers on 3 different occasion but lost to The Prophecy.
The team of Chistopher Daniels and Xavier, The Prophecy destroyed Red which took him out of the action, due to which Styles had to choose a different partner Homicide. These 2 then defeated The Prophecy, but Styles had to vacate the title due to Red being sidelined by a legitimate injury.
After his reign as ROH Tag Team Champion, Styles took Jimmy Rave as his protégé and attempted to become the ROH World Champion, defeating Bryan Danielson at Main Event Spectacles to become the number one contender. At War of the Wire, Styles unsuccessfully challenged Samoa Joe for the title. He then defeated CM Punk(yeah CM Punk, the WWE one to all those who don't know), Jimmy Rave, and Matt Stryker in a one night tournament at the Second Anniversary Show to become the first ROH Pure Wrestling Champion.
Styles defeated Punk in a rematch with Ricky Steamboat as the guest referee at At Our Best for his final match for ROH in 2004, as TNA withdrew all of its contracted wrestlers from all ROH events and ROH vacated the title.
