WWE will be getting a notable name back on television heading in 2024 and ahead of next month’s Royal Rumble premium live event. It also comes at a time when WWE is riding high off Survivor Series, which featured the returns of CM Punk and Randy Orton.
Return delayed
AJ Styles hasn’t worked a match since the September 15 episode of SmackDown when he put over Finn Balor. The former WWE star was written off TV when the Bloodline attacked him.
Styles has been someone that WWE is reportedly bringing back to television soon, although his return continues to be delayed, including last week’s SmackDown, where he was locally advertised at one point.
The latest
While speaking on his Hotline show, Pwinsider’s Mike Johnson noted that Styles’ return is just a matter of WWE creative figuring out plans for him as he could be back any week now. The initial plan was for him to be back three weeks ago.
It made sense for WWE to delay it, considering the recent returns of CM Punk and Randy Orton.
