What's Up With AJ Styles' Busted Ankle?

This is getting serious. After being held out of him Smackdown World Title match against James Ellsworth earlier this week, AJ Styles is missing more ring time. According to F4Wonline.com, Styles has been pulled from this weekend’s house shows. Styles is still scheduled to appear on this coming week’s “Smackdown Live.”

Sunday wasn’t kind to Styles as not only were his tights ripped open in a rather embarrassing way but he also injured his ankle, putting him out of the ring for an undetermined amount of time. Styles missed Monday’s house show, Tuesday’s TV show and now at least a few more house shows. There is no word on when he will return to the ring but the injury is not considered serious.

Ankle injuries are the kind of annoying thing that you have to wait out entirely because working through them can make it even worse. Styles is one of the top stars in the promotion at the moment and WWE really can’t risk him getting injured any worse than he already is. His high flying style isn’t helping this situation but patience is really necessary here.
