With WWE just days away from this year’s Royal Rumble, the company is looking to have one of its stars back.
AJ Styles has been off television for months after Styles made his big return to WWE television on SmackDown, where he worked a match with Carmelo Hayes. After the bout, WWE later announced Styles had a mid-foot ligament sprain.
Styles was supposed to have a farewell storyline before being sidelined with an injury. Styles later revealed that he had a Lisfranc injury and was “cooked.”
This serious condition affects the bones and ligaments in the middle of the foot. WrestleVotes noted in December that WWE is staying quiet about his status, with the latest update coming when Styles noted earlier this month that the injury has been challenging.
PWInsider.com reports that WWE is hoping that AJ Styles will be cleared and able to return this weekend for the Royal Rumble. Styles is slated to be in town for the show.
