There has been speculation online over the weekend regarding a possible injury to AJ Styles at Friday night’s WWE Live Event from Madison Square Garden. At first it was thought that the injury was just an angle set up on the MSG Show, but it is now being said that Styles may in fact legitimately be hurt.
On today’s edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed the injury spot from Friday Night’s MSG event and mentioned that it was announced at Saturday night’s WWE Live Event from Odessa that by WWE that AJ Styles suffered an injury at Friday Night’s Madison Square Garden show. Meltzer was not able to elaborate or going into any further detail regarding the injury but did say that he expects to have more information soon.
“So last night at Madison Square Garden it was supposed to be AJ Styles & Nakamura against Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn, and it turned into a singles match with Nakamura and Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn interfered. AJ did make the save. They actually did an injury angle before the match, but I didn’t know if that was, people said that they thought that it was an injury. The injury was probably suffered before hand and this was an angle set up to cover for it. And then tonight in Odessa, Styles wasn’t there, and they actually announced before the show that Styles was injured in Madison Square Garden. So that’s all i really know now. Don’t know the severity, we will probably know more in the morning.”
We will keep you updated as more information becomes available regarding AJ Styles potential injury over the weekend.
