AJ Styles sets the record straight.
On Tuesday morning, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer reports that AJ Styles suffered a hernia that kept him off live events over the weekend. Styles appeared during the main event segment of SmackDown Live, getting physical during a brawl with his Elimination Chamber opponents.
Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp said on the post-SmackDown podcast, "I was told people backstage didn’t hear of AJ Styles sustaining any type of a hernia or anything like that.”
On Wednesday afternoon, Styles took to social media to shut down the report of him suffering a hernia.
Yeah, about that. I don’t have a hernia. -- https://t.co/ilqge7BlZw
