AJ Styles Injured

[Deleted]

AJ was playing PUBG on his Mixer and here's what he apparently said

"When you take a suplex from about 15 feet in the air... You know, I think I hit my left side before my right, just a little bit, and that's totally on me, totally my fault," Styles said of the injury. "It kind of knocked my hips out of place and then everything else, all those muscles in your butt and your back, swell up and then those muscles press on your nerve endings, and next thing you know you can't walk the next day.

"But, got x-rays [on Wednesday] and they were all positive, I didn't break anything. So, as far as that looks, I should be good to go here soon."

I agree guys are getting worked crazy. I rode my plane from Laguardia to Tampa with Roman Reigns (he was obviously in 1st class and your boi in basic, but I was sitting around near him for a couple hours) and he didn’t look that great to me. He was also a strange color up close in person, I couldn’t help but wonder if that had something to do with the cancer.

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.

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.

It would save money, but bye bye big money TV deals. Those deals are for 50-52 live, weekly wrestling shows. You try to sell them an abbreviated Lucha Underground style season, and watch the LU sized offers come in.

WWE needs to operate year round, however, they absolutely could have mandatory time off for wrestlers. Mania’s over? No big plans for AJ? Let him go home for a month or two. Or even something like dropping one weekend of house shows a month would make a huge difference.

They can never do a full off season, not without massive changes, but they can definitely give these guys more days off. Not everyone can work the John Cena schedule

Well that doesn't sound pleasant at all

Good to hear that it sounds manageable for AJ. With the depth on their rosters and the ability to hire pretty much anyone, why not rotate some of the wrestlers & give them time off?
