There is a lot of disquiet over the health of AJ Styles. The number one contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship is reportedly nursing a few injuries that have dogged him awhile.
Styles was taken off three live event cards this past weekend and his schedule was lightened for this week, according to dailywrestlingnews.com. The Phenomenal One did not wrestle a match on tonight’s RAW, though he did take a steel chair shot from Roman Reigns.
