One of the prime attractions of WWE TV is not available in competitions for the past few weeks. We are talking about AJ Styles who is missing actions due to a back injury ever since a dream title match went by. He lost this one against Seth Rollins at Money In The Bank on May 19th to go into hiatus just to nag his injury.
Potential Next PPV Match Revealed For AJ Styles
Shocking Return Planned For Stomping Grounds Main Event
A Cyst In Brain Forced Nikki Bella To Announce Retirement!
However, we have seen AJ Styles on TV on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw claiming that doctors have already cleared him to wrestle. He also reunited with his Club brethren, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson hinting that they might reform the band, yet again. Now the question remains whether his in-ring comeback is happening at Stomping Grounds or not.
Reports have wiped out the chances of seeing so as AJ Styles is yet to receive medical clearance from the doctors. On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer revealed the reason why WWE is nit using AJ Styled on TV which is purely an effect of the injury. It is still intact but WWE is hopeful that doctors will soon clear him to wrestle.

Here’s more from IWnerd.com on this matter,
“According to Meltzer, Styles has NOT been cleared to return from injury yet. While saying that, he was back at TV this week because WWE expects him to be cleared very soon.
The expectation is that Styles will be cleared for the WWE live events in Japan next week. He is scheduled to team with Gallows, Anderson, and Triple H at these shows.”
As you can see, WWE is hopeful that AJ Styles will make it to Japan where the superstars will compete in a couple of live events. One of the main-event will witness Triple H teaming up with the former Bullet Club members in an epic match. Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre & Samoa Joe will be their opponents in the match that takes place in Tokyo, Japan on June 28th.
Apart from AJ Styles, Meltzer also gave an update on another superstar who is missing WWE TV for quite sometimes. He is Rusev from Smackdown Live who requested leave for sometimes. WWE officials granted him that causing for the former US Champion to go out of the storyline picture. We expect him to return in action, very shortly.
