We have some bad news to pass your way now that the Royal Rumble is over. AJ Styles was reportedly injured during the men’s Royal Rumble match.
This news comes from Mike Johnson of PWInsider. Here is what he wrote about Styles and what happened:
AJ Styles suffered an arm injury during the Royal Rumble match, PWInsider.com has learned. Styles was hurt landing awkwardly on his left shoulder after taking a spear from Edge. Styles came up holding his left arm and it appeared his arm was dangling. He was then eliminated.
Just before his elimination, a referee stepped up to the apron to communicate with Edge, who then eliminated Styles. Several officials and medical personnel immediately attended to Styles and we are told he was examined upon returning to the backstage area. Styles was seen backstage after the match with his arm all wrapped up and was icing it..
We are told Styles will be undergoing tests to determine the severity of the injury and how much time, if any, he will need to take off.
More as we confirm it.
Update: Mike Johnson of PWInsider says that Styles suffered a separated shoulder:
The early word on AJ Styles is that he suffered a shoulder separation. He will be undergoing testing to determine the severity as soon as possible.
We will let you know when we hear anything more. This is awful timing as it sort of looked like WWE was teasing Edge vs AJ Styles at Wrestlemania 36.
