— During last night’s WWE Royal Rumble match, AJ Styles suffered a left shoulder injury which was serious enough that it resulted in a change of plans, leading to an earlier-than-expected elimination for Styles. The injury occurred after Styles took a devastating spear from Edge and rotated in such a manner that he landed on his shoulder, twisting it (Watch Video Here). It was obvious right away that Styles was hurt as he lay off to the side of the ring for several minutes following that spot, while subtly speaking with referees at ringside. Styles did not really engage in any physicality following that but did communicate to Edge about being eliminated and he was promptly thrown over the top rope and out of the match soon thereafter.
— Styles was then checked out again by ringside officials and was examined backstage (Off-Air Close-Up Photos Here). Reports indicate he was seen with his shoulder/arm taped and iced up following the match and he is expected to undergo more testing later today to determine the extent of the injury and how long he will be sidelined.
