AJ Styles’ injury on Smackdown this past Friday was not a
storyline and the former WWE champion is suffering from a
mid foot ligament sprain, otherwise known as Lisfranc
injury.
Styles was wrestling Caremlo Hayes when he suffered the
injury and the match was stopped and the referee gave the
win to Hayes.
WWE’s Jackie Redmond wrote on social media that Styles will
be undergoing an MRI this week to determine how bad the
injury is.
“I believe everything happens for a reason,” Styles wrote on
X, promising fans to keep them updated on the situation.
Styles was just returning on WWE television after four
months away, with his last televised match coming at Clash
at the Castle in June. He did work the non-televised live
events in Japan and Europe in August but was kept off
television since his title match loss to Cody Rhodes in
Scotland.
