The 2020 Men's Royal Rumble match was an eventful show with multiple massive returns, dominating performances, and a crowd-favorite winner, Drew McIntyre. But what it also saw was the two-time WWE Champion, AJ Styles suffering a legitimate injury.

The Phenomenal One entered the Royal Rumble match at #18 but lasted only over seven minutes before being eliminated by the returning, Edge. He wasn't meant to be eliminated so early, but while receiving a spear from the Rated-R Superstar, AJ Styles landed awkwardly and injured his arm. Styles then audibly asked Edge to eliminate him and then received medical attention immediately.

While there were concerns over him missing WWE's biggest show of the year, WrestleMania 36, thankfully he recovered and made it to the PPV. AJ Styles faced The Undertaker in a Boneyard match, which might just be the last WWE match of the Phenom.

After competing in the WWE Money in the Bank match, AJ Styles soon jumped brands to WWE SmackDown. Currently, the Phenomenal One is the Intercontinental Champion, consistently putting up great matches with various young talents like Drew Gulak, Matt Riddle, and many others.
