AJ Styles Addresses His Recovery: "This Injury Is Challenging"

AJ Styles is currently navigating a tough road to recovery.

During the October 4, 2024 episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown, Styles made his highly anticipated return to the ring after a lengthy break. Unfortunately, his comeback was short-lived after suffering a severe Lisfranc injury in a match against Carmelo Hayes.

On January 10, 2025, Styles took to social media to provide an update on his condition after a fan inquired about his injury and the timeline for his return. In his brief response, Styles acknowledged the difficulty of the injury and admitted that it’s proving to be a challenging setback for him.

As of now, no official word has been given on when Styles will be able to make his return to the ring.
