WWE got everyone excited about AJ Styles coming back after a long time, saying he’d return on the October 4, 2024, episode of SmackDown. Fans were super excited to see him again, and the crowd welcomed him when he finally returned. Sadly, an injury cut short the excitement around his homecoming.
In his last shows, Styles was all about grabbing the Undisputed WWE Championship, going up against Cody Rhodes in some exciting matches before he disappeared from TV. So, AJ Styles is back on SmackDown to work on his legacy. But then LA Knight and Carmelo Hayes showed up, and things got pretty heated between all of them.
LA Knight later asked Hayes to fight Styles. During the match, Styles hurt his knee and couldn’t continue, so the referee stopped the match. Knight attacked Hayes just as the referee was about to declare him the winner. It was a total mess, honestly. Later, a doctor took care of Styles and took him to a hospital.
Is AJ Styles’ injury real or just part of the WWE storyline?
In the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, despite AJ Styles’ thrilling return, things took a turn when he injured his leg during the match. He fell badly while trying a springboard move, making people wonder if his injury was real or just part of the show.
In wrestling, if a wrestler is really hurt, the referee makes an ‘X’ sign with his arms. The referee did this for Styles, proving it was a real injury. WWE community were worried about Styles, especially when WWE showed a video of him leaving on crutches.
