Legitimacy of AJ Styles’ Injury During 10/4 WWE SmackDown

The October 4 WWE SmackDown featured the return of AJ Styles and fans were excited to see what he would do during the show. As it turns out, he made many people worry after possibly suffering an injury during SmackDown and now the legitimacy of the injury has been revealed.

AJ Style came out and cut a heartfelt promo to the WWE Universe but he was rudely interrupted by Carmelo Hayes. It eventually led to a match between the two and fans were very excited for it.

The match started with high stakes, but it took an unexpected turn when AJ Styles appeared to injure his foot midway through. The injury led to the match being called off, giving Carmelo the win by forfeit. However, Carmelo’s night didn’t end there, as LA Knight made a statement by hitting him with a post-match BFT.

Despite the supposed injury, Styles managed to limp out of the ring on his own before receiving medical attention. Later, he was spotted using crutches, leaving fans concerned about the severity of his injury.

According to Fightful Select, it was reported that AJ Styles’ injury angle was planned and he is not legitimately injured whatsoever. Therefore, fans will definitely be relieved to know he is not hurt at all.

It remains to be seen how WWE will continue to play out AJ Styles’ injury angle, as it’s quite clear the company has something long-term in mind for the Phenomenal One and Carmelo Hayes’ feud.

Are you relieved to know that AJ Styles isn’t legitimately injured? How do you think WWE will book him in the coming weeks?
