AJ Styles Injury Update From WWE TLC, News On How The Injury May Have Happened

As noted, WWE World Champion AJ Styles suffered a minor right ankle injury during the main event of WWE TLC on Sunday night. Styles was then pulled from Monday's live event in Tyler, TX as a precautionary measure.

It was noted on Wrestling Observer Radio today that Styles' injury is not severe but there's been no word yet on tonight's SmackDown main event against James Ellsworth or the weekend WWE live events. The SmackDown live events are already limited but losing Styles would be another big blow to the roster.

Dave Meltzer noted on WOR that Styles may have suffered the injury doing the springboard 450 to Dean Ambrose through the table at TLC.
