AJ Styles off post-WrestleMania SmackDown

Posted: Apr 9th 2019 By: Josh Nason

Dave Meltzer reports that AJ Styles is heading home and will not be on this week's edition of SmackDown.

A fan tweeted that he saw Styles at the airport and that the former WWE Champion was moving slowly. Meltzer confirmed that he won't be on this Tuesday's show from Brooklyn, but could not confirm it was due to an injury.

The 41-year-old wrestled against Randy Orton at this year's WrestleMania in the second main card match, pinning him after hitting a Phenomenal Forearm.

Orton put out an Instagram post Monday apologizing on behalf of WWE for a giant colored light on the stage that was shining in people's faces for the majority of their match.
