Well if he had to pull out that's not really a good first sign. Hopefully it is nothing major

Oof, that sucks. I was worried that he got injured when the camera zoomed in on him after he did the ushigoroshi and he was wincing in pain.

All of the fans chose to meet Kofi instead, right?

Dude has had zero time off since coming to WWE has he? He may be moving a lot slower these days but I had a feeling it wasn’t all because he was losing a step.

Yea, with the new contract in hand and him essentially being active for the first 3 years of his WWE deal plus a one year WWE title run, I don't see why not give him a little time off
Mania season is over and about to hit the dog days of the after party. Rest up, if not a serious injury take 6-8 weeks to get right and be ready for MITB, Summerslam and the SD on Fox premiere

I hope he's not seriously hurt, but if he does need time off, I suppose now's a decent time for him to take it. He's been in kind of a rut, and making his return, he ought to be fresher again.

Even if it's not too serious, no one would benefit more from some time off than him. Not just because of his health, but he's extremely stale. Give us time to miss him and let Kofi officially take over as the top face on SD.

A lot of injuries reportedly coming out of WrestleMania or just before it. Styles, Mysterio, Ronda, and maybe even Charlotte
WWE's working their talent too hard, with no offseason, this shit's becoming way too common and it's scary.

At the very least they need to start doing more they did with Seth and Becky over the last 2 months, don't wrestle as much but we can keep you around for mic time and just presence
Traveling is still pressure on the body but you can at least have the luxury of getting more time to recuperate

Reposting the text from a comment of mine, as it really fits here: When the WWE went to the brand split I thought offseasons were going to become a thing. Imagine the Wrestlemania follow up Raw being the season finale of Raw and The week after SummerSl being the season finale of Smackdown. The offseason episodes can feature bonus off-brand (Raw on SD, SD on Raw) matches, matches featuring NXT talents that might get called up, best of segments, in-depth interviews to establish some character building, and maybe even some stuff from the vault to advertise the WWE Network. I think giving everyone 2-3 months of recouping is a good idea, reduces burnout, gives creative more time to plan ahead, and improves health outcomes of the talent.

I saw some Becky Lynch promo work on ESPN and she looked like she hadn’t slept in weeks. The talent are living out their dreams but without the help of, um, substances to repair the body, the lack of rest will catch up to them. The WWE seriously needs to consider a quasi off season where talent get cycled in and out of TV/house shows to recharge.

I knew something looked off with AJ's movement toward the end stretch of that match. I hope it's not too serious.

All of the fans chose to meet Kofi instead, right? I did. Only shame was I was wearing an AJ Styles t shirt in the photo which looks a tad out of place! Getting to tell Kofi what an amazing match he had on Sunday and congratulate him was a magnificent bonus In a helluva wrestlemania week, however much I wanted to meet AJ.

Word that's making the rounds is that it's a hip issue.

Another side benefit for the WWE is that it would also save them money. It would be only 6-7 months of the year where they would need to incur the expenses of filming shows on the road for 3 brands.

Sounds like AJ won’t be on SD tonight, so it seems that he’s going to miss a bit of time.
