Before Raw, PWInsider reported that AJ Styles has been pulled from the show with an undisclosed injury.
On the show, Styles was attacked by Baron Corbin in a pre-taped backstage segment, ruling him out of the main event fatal 4 way which Baron would go on to win, securing a match for the Universal Championship at Super Showdown.
Later in the show, Styles was interviewed by Charly Caruso, and was asked about the injury he had sustained.

This would seem to confirm the PWInsider report that Styles is currently “banged up” and that he has been working hurt.
If it is a back injury, and if Styles was truthful in saying more tests need to be done, then we may be without the Phenomenal One for a few weeks while he returns to full fitness.
