AJ Styles debuted in WWE for SmackDown in Nashville, Tennessee, and he got a phenomenal reception from the audience. However, the night turned a bit worrisome when sometime in the Carmelo Hayes match, he injured his ankle and limped backstage, barely putting weight on the said ankle. The severity of the injury is something that has not yet been determined.
AJ Styles Emotional WWE Come Back
Hardy introduced AJ Styles for his first WWE appearance since his loss to Cody Rhodes in an “I Quit” match at Clash at the Castle. Speaking to the fans, he thanked them for being there and confessed he had made some stupid decisions over the past several months. He wanted to start anew and vowed to rebuild his broken reputation, stating that his comeback meant a new chapter in his career would commence.
When AJ Styles uttered those words, Carmelo Hayes decided to chime in, and we got into a confrontation between these two. Hayes, who was looking forward to facing the United States Champion, engaged in a war of words with him. It paved the way for a possible confrontation when LA Knight, the current United States Champion, appeared on the canvas. Knight said he would endorse Hayes for a future title shot against Aldis’ client if the young fighter emerged victorious against AJ Styles.
