AJ Styles, the WWE superstar, was seen struggling with what seemed to be an injury in last week’s episode of WWE SmackDown. Initially, details indicated that this was merely a narrative device for the storyline, assuring fans that Styles was alright.
But, later on, WWE released a statement suggesting that Styles was suffering from a “mid-foot ligament sprain.”
This news was followed by a contradictory report by Dave Meltzer from F4WOnline. Meltzer declared that Styles’ injury wasn’t just a scripted event but was an authentic injury.
He also added that Styles is scheduled to go in for an MRI scan to evaluate the severity of his injury further.
Later, insider source Fightful, added another dimension to Styles’ injury saga, stating that “the flip where he sold the knee was to be a work. The move where he landed on the knee was legit.”
It is now widely speculated that the ex-WWE Champion, AJ Styles, is indeed dealing with a genuine injury.
