AJ Styles returned on the October 4th episode of SmackDown after nearly four months of absence from WWE television. Styles competed against Carmelo Hayes on the show.
Unfortunately, The Phenomenal One sustained a foot injury during the match. The referee then stopped the bout and declared Hayes the winner.
On X, AJ Styles provided an update on his injury. Styles stated that he suffered a Lisfranc injury.
“It’s called a Lisfranc injury. Look it up, it sucks! I thought when I took off my boot. I would have a bone sticking out of my foot.”
A fan stated, “That’s the injury that ends running backs seasons and took Cam Newton out in 2016.” Styles responded to the fan as follows:
“Bingo, as the kids say….I’m cooked!”
