How Bad Is It? Update On AJ Styles’ Physical Status.

Even Phenomenal Ones can have some issues. As great as any wrestler is, they can’t fight father time. Over the course of the years, injuries are going to pile up, either through the course of something big or just simple wear and tear. When you’re a top name who is getting in the ring night after night, those injuries are going to take a toll. That’s the case with a big name at the moment.

According to Wrestling Observer Radio, AJ Styles worked the Elimination Chamber match with an undisclosed injury. While it isn’t clear what is wrong with Styles, he isn’t currently scheduled for any time off. Styles has wrestled or appeared on most episodes of SmackDown Live in recent weeks, including wrestling in a gauntlet match last week and in the Elimination Chamber over the weekend.

This isn’t going to help things. Check out Styles taking a really painful looking RKO inside the Elimination Chamber:

Opinion: I can’t say I’m surprised as Styles has been a very active wrestler for a very long time now and there are bound to be injuries piling up over all those years. Styles was WWE Champion for over a year and that means there isn’t a lot of time to rest up. Hopefully he can slow down a bit now and recuperate, because he should have a lot left in the tank that can be very valuable to both WWE and the fans.

How much does Styles have left? Will he ever be World Champion again? Let us know in the comments below.
