-- AJ Styles was originally scheduled for last night's WWE Friday Night Smackdown, however, pwinsiderelite.com reports that not only was he not on the show, but he wasn't even in attendance. Styles is still planned to return to WWE TV and storylines before Bash in Berlin at the end of the month. The report adds that the reason he didn't appear last night is because the company already had creative plans locked in and felt it wasn't the right week to bring him back.
-- Jacob Fatu was not backstage at Smackdown yesterday and with his continued absence, there is a "growing belief" among the other wrestlers that he is likely legitimately hurt.
-- Dakota Kaihas been taken off the road and hasn't wrestled since last month's tour in Japan. There is also a belief backstage that she is injured too though any other details are not known.
