Is AJ Styles still in WWE? Reason why he hasn't been seen since last year

AJ Styles has been one of WWE’s most prolific performers in recent years. A two-time world champion, the veteran has been incredibly consistent since his debut in the company. As a result, his sudden disappearance from TV has been a hard pill to swallow for wrestling fans.

During a live event in Hershey, Pennsylvania, in December 2022, Styles attempted a top rope move but landed awkwardly. The referee threw the X sign, and it was reported that AJ had suffered an ankle injury. The next day, The Phenomenal One announced that he would be out of the ring for a long time.

Former RAW Tag Team Champion AJ Styles is still in WWE. He is currently recuperating from an ankle injury and chances are high that he will miss out on WrestleMania 39. In the latest update, he teased a four-month recovery process.

"I talked to the Foot and Ankle doctor that I went to, who is one of my really good friends, and he was like ‘dude did you know that Michael Vick had this same injury and he was out for four months, like chill out.' And I was like, oh frick."

Styles’ storyline with The Judgment Day ended abruptly due to the unfortunate event last year. Nonetheless, the 45-year-old veteran deserves a break after being a highlight on RAW for several years.

Provided he is ready to return soon, WWE can re-incorporate him into storylines on the night after WrestleMania 39.
