AJ STYLES RETURNING IN ROYAL RUMBLE?

AJ Styles was injured during his highly anticipated return on the October 4, 2024 episode of SmackDown. Since then, there has been much discussion about this injury, with the "Phenomenal One" having already given some news about his recovery.

Despite these words from the former world champion, Mike Johnson of PWInsider revealed that WWE expects the fighter to be released to compete in the Royal Rumble. The journalist explained that those responsible for the company want to count on AJ Styles to be one of the surprises of the Men's Royal Rumble Match and that he will be in the city of Indianapolis for the event.

Still, it is believed that AJ Styles will not return at the Royal Rumble, since the injury he suffered was quite serious, and the recovery time is much longer than the approximately 5 months that have passed since this happened.
