AJ Styles suffered a legitimate foot injury during last week’s WWE Smackdown match with Carmelo Hayes. Dave Meltzer of F4Wonline.com reports that Styles suffered a mid-foot ligament sprain while performing a ushigoroshi.
Powell’s POV: The injury requires an MRI scan, but it’s unclear whether whether Styles has undergone the MRI or what the results showed if he has. The story also states that the plan is for Styles to do a farewell tour or a retirement tease. Here’s hoping the MRI scan provides good news.
Meltzer says it’s real so it’s a 95% chance that it’s a work.
I’m sorry he’s injured. Hopefully, he will work it into his promo, that his body’s breaking down… but he’s not done yet! Then talk about his retirement plans/matches.
AJ, Cena, Christopher Daniels. End of the SoCal era.
