Smackdown Live (12/13) – 7 Major Takeaways From This Weeks Episode

2) No Cast For AJ Styles

AJ Styles was sporting a cast on his left ankle last week on Smackdown Live. This was due to a legit ankle injury that he suffered at the TLC PPV in his match against Dean Ambriose.

As mentioned before, his match against James Ellsworth was postponed. Even though Styles has the cast off, the WWE likely wants to give him some more time to recover.


During the opening segment he did not get physical with anyone and just walked slowly to the back. He also was on commentary later in the night but didn’t get involved physically.

Glad WWE is taking the smart approach and not rushing him back where he could get more injured. Guessing the match between Ellsworth and Styles takes place next week.
