The October 4 episode of WWE SmackDown marked AJ Styles return to television after several months, and fans were eager to see his performance. However, fans were concerned about his well-being when he appeared to sustain an injury during the show. Following these developments, WWE has issued a statement regarding Styles injury status.
AJ Styles came out and cut an emotional promo to the WWE fans, but he was interrupted by Carmelo Hayes, eventually setting up a match between the two. The match started off well, but things changed when AJ Styles appeared to hurt his foot during the match, ultimately stopping the match.
Despite his injury, The Phenomenal One was able to walk out of the ring on his own, but he was later seen using crutches, which made fans worry about how serious his injury was. In light of his supposed injury, Jackie Redmond took to Twitter and announced that AJ Styles has a mid foot ligament sprain and will have an MRI later this week.
Its important to note that AJ Styles is not actually injured; its all part of his storyline. While its still unclear how WWE will develop this injury angle, its evident they have a long-term plan for the feud between him and Carmelo Hayes, so well have to see how the angle will progress in the coming weeks.
