Renowned professional wrestler AJ Styles publicly discloses his severe ankle injury, which is deeply concerning to fans.
Allen Neal Jones, also known by his ring name AJ Styles, was born on June 2, 1977.
He is an American professional wrestler who started his career in 1998. Hailed as “the cornerstone of the TNA since its inception,” he has twice won the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
Moreover, AJ has also won the NWA World Heavyweight Championship three times and was the inaugural titleholder of the X Division Championship, which he won six times.
Despite the Severity of His Ankle Injury and Loss in the Match, Aj Styles Maintained His Composure!
However, the highly anticipated match turned into an unfortunate incident when AJ sustained an ankle injury during the match’s closing stages.
Styles injured his foot while attempting a move, which eventually led him to leave the arena on crutches.
Therefore, Carmelo Hayes won the match and got a chance to fight for the upcoming U.S. Championship against the LA Knights.
Later, AJ updated his fans about his injury and its severity through a series of tweets.
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. https://t.co/7eEHiHC0Zg

Despite the severe injury, AJ has maintained his composure and interacted light-heartedly with his fans while also updating and educating them.
However, AJ’s triumphant wrestling career has been filled with a long list of injuries prior to his recent ankle injury.
Some of the most conspicuous and severe injuries he has faced throughout his career include his back, hip, and ankle injuries.
Styles suffered a back injury in 2003 during his tenure with Ring Of Honor(ROH). Sadly, the injury compelled him to give up the tag team titles he had worked vigorously to procure.
But unbeknownst to him, in 2015, he suffered another back injury, which led to his unfortunate withdrawal from the 2015 World Tag League in NJPW.
His second back injury became a huge impediment for Styles, momentarily affecting his momentum and career.
Furthermore, in 2019, Styles encountered a hip injury at WrestleMania 35 after he won over Randy Orton.
Despite the pain and discomfort, Styles exhibited strong perseverance, which helped him garner numerous praises from fans and contemporaries.
However, December 2022 marked another serious injury for the legend. Styles suffered a broken ankle while competing in a tag match in Pennsylvania during a WWE house show.
This unfortunate incident halted his career for nearly 5 months, which unfortunately became the longest hiatus of his career.
