AJ Styles picked up a big win over Randy Orton at WrestleMania 35 on Sunday, but unfortunately Styles didn’t make it to SmackDown Live because he suffered a hip injury.
According to Wrestling Inc, Styles confirmed the injury while live streaming a video game on his Mixer account.
Styles noted that the injury happened when he took a superplex from Randy and he says the injury was his fault because he didn’t land correctly.
“When you take a suplex from about 15 feet in the air… You know, I think I hit my left side before my right, just a little bit, and that’s totally on me, totally my fault. It kind of knocked my hips out of place and then everything else, all those muscles in your butt and your back, swell up and then those muscles press on your nerve endings, and next thing you know you can’t walk the next day.”
He went on to say that he got x-rays on Wednesday, and they were all positive showing that he didn’t break anything.
The former WWE Champion noted that he hopes to be back in action as soon as next week.
