Oh damn.
I think he can still make the big show (Wellllllll....) but will need quality recuperation. Here's hoping.

 Can The Club push AJ around in a wheelchair for the next 3-4 months like this in 1997? It will make for a good pop when AJ gets out of the wheelchair. |

Saw this last week too - Hoping for a good recovery for the dude. It's actually crazy he's never had any kind of notable time off due to injury with the style of matches he's worked. Over a decade working crazy x-division style matches in TNA, ROH and elsewhere, then 2 years in NJPW followed by years of the WWE schedule and this might end up being his worst injury (which itself may end up only being like 6-8 weeks). I used to think Miz had the best record of keeping an insane schedule for year after year and staying mostly healthy all the time but AJ may have him beat. |

AJ was basically the bump king in his early TNA days and it is surprising he is still able to walk around like he can and he hasn't been injured as far as big injuries. The nagging injuries is starting to catch up with him but yeah he's probably not wrestling again until Mania if that |

Insane that AJ's longest break across 20+ years is only like 4 or 5 months when dude was going sadboy mode in 2013.

How he's only had 4 months off altogether in his career with his style and schedule, I'll never know.
I feel like whatever he's done to keep his longevity should be taught.

The fact he does not require surgery makes it that it is not as bad as Iyo's was where she broke her foot and could not put weight on it for 3 months.
But AJ is also older so his healing period is likely to take longer even without surgery.

Sucks if he can’t do mania, but perhaps some time off is what he needs to freshen up and this is a blessing in disguise.

Jeez, they’d better hope that Rollins doesn’t go down hurt, because between Styles being injured, Riddle having all his issues and Owens getting banged up all the time, that’s a lot of your main TV load-bearing babyfaces all red-lining.
Logic would dictate that this is where you try and elevate a Johnny Gargano or a Mustafa Ali and give them a few wins in longer matches, but that’s just me. “BUT THEY’RE NOT OVER, EOE”… F***ing try to GET them over then, f***.

Probably can't do any air travel with the break, even if it doesn't need surgery. That sucks, especially if the speculation about him showing up with Karl Anderson (with WWE's blessing of course) to Wrestle Kingdom had some actual meat to it and wasn't just fans getting their hopes up.

Then there's how, while he seems fine for the moment, Drew McIntyre seems to be made of porcelain at the moment with how he's gotten injured like four times and sick like two or three more times this past year. And yet is apparently planned for one of the Mania title matches. |

So I guess we can rule out AJ from this months Rumble..Shame considering it would be 7 years since his WWE debut.
Hopefully can get better in time for Mania.

No way should AJ have to travel all around the US for the first quarter of this year while rehabbing a broken ankle. He should spend that time with his family at home instead. |

It looked like Gallows and Anderson were about to start a program against the Usos based off of what happened on Raw a few weeks ago. I wonder if this injury will affect those plans. Also with AJ Styles injured & Karl Anderson in Japan for Wrestle Kingdom 17 this Wednesday the only available members of the OC tomorrow will be Gallows & Yim.

I’ve been watching a ton of old Rumbles and I’ll never understand how injuries don’t happen more with people getting thrown over the top to the floor. Obviously there are times they can control their bodies, but it just seems like a thing that would lead to more injuries like this.

AJ can spend more quality time with his pretty wife Wendy now. He can dress up like Peter Pan.
