AJ Styles Injured
According to a report from PWInsider, AJ Styles has been working hurt through some nagging injuries over the past couple weeks. Styles did NOT wrestle at this weeks Smackdown taping and the WWE is reportedly keeping him off of this weekends live events. The good news is that this is only precautionary and the WWE is allowing Styles more rest before his title match against Roman Reigns at Extreme Rules on May 22nd 2016. Styles was pulled from the Friday, Saturday and Sunday shows to rest up. It is not clear what exactly is nagging him at this time.
I know I was initially very worried when reading it was possible that AJ Styles injured himself and it could be serious. I am glad they are allowing him to rest and heal so he is ready for Extreme Rules. I have been really enjoying the feud so far with Styles (with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) against Roman Reigns (with the Usos). I think they are going to put on another great match at Extreme Rules and impress the crowd!
It sucks for fans who are attending these live events that they won’t get to see him in action. It is probably best for his career long-term if he rests occasionally as he has been wrestling for a very long time.
