AJ Styles has to leave WWE SmackDown on crutches; rushed to hospital
AJ Styles' luck didn't work for him this week as he returned after a long time on WWE SmackDown. Unfortunately, he was left with an injury.
The star faced Carmelo Hayes in an impromptu match on the show and during a springboard attempt off the middle rope. He landed badly and injured his leg. Later, during the match, while trying to deliver an Argentine Backbreaker, he collapsed while holding Hayes.
WWE provided an unfortunate update about him saying that his left leg was badly injured.
AJ Styles had to be rushed to the hospital according to the update as well. He was spotted walking down the hallways with the help of crutches. The injury appears to be a legitimate one as Styles was left frustrated when the referee had to stop the match moments after he collapsed as he could no longer continue and pounded the side of the ring.
Exactly what the injury is has not been determined yet. On SmackDown LowDown, they said that he would be evaluated by the medical facility which should provide further context as to what exactly happened to him.
As of now, it appears that the star is out of action once again thanks to the injury.
