4 WWE superstars who missed recent Live Events & their injury status

#1 AJ Styles

Let's hope The Phenomenal One is healthy by the time that Elimination Chamber comes around

It may seem at first that SmackDown got off easy with regard to the injuries. But the truth of the matter is that the top male superstar in the brand may be banged up too. Luckily his injury does not seem to be serious either. He's expected to be on SmackDown Live, this week.

This is what John Pollock of Post Wrestling had to say about AJ Styles' current status:

AJ Styles was dinged up recently but should be cleared by Tuesday for the television tapings.

Styles is one of the contenders who will be competing for the WWE Championship in the Elimination Chamber alongside current Champion Daniel Bryan, Mustafa Ali, Samoa Joe, Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton. He's one of the key players on SmackDown Live and his absence will certainly be felt if his injuries do worsen.

I wish each one of the names mentioned a very speedy recovery from real and/or worked injuries.
