Fans were excited to see AJ Styles return on October 4’s “WWE SmackDown.” But his comeback went in an awful direction during his bout against Carmelo Hayes. Lots of people wondered if his injury was real or just part of the story. Sadly, Styles later confirmed on social media that he has a serious Lisfranc injury.
Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer shared that AJ Styles was frustrated with the situation surrounding his injury. He planned to kick off a storyline for a farewell tour or retirement tease, but that idea now hinges on his MRI results. When the results confirmed a Lisfranc injury, Styles responded to a fan’s comment, saying, “Bingo, as the kids say… I’m cooked!”
Styles also clarified to another fan who thought his injury might be part of a storyline, saying, “It’s called a Lisfranc injury. Look it up, it sucks! I thought when I took off my boot, I would have a bone sticking out of my foot.”
After realizing the seriousness of Styles’ injury, the fan, @GrewalDalraj, apologized for his earlier harsh comment.
