AJ Styles
The start of tonight’s episode of WWE Smackdown Live saw AJ Styles come to the ring wearing a boot due to his ankle injury. Styles claimed to be unable to compete tonight due to not being medically cleared, and James Ellsworth claimed Styles was ducking him because Styles knew he would lose.
