AJ Styles is in a lot of pain these days as he is dealing with what is believed to be a herniated disc and nerve pain in his lower back.
Styles has not worked a match since November 27th and had to miss the New Japan tag team tournament. Styles is scheduled to headline the 12/18 ROH Final Battle PPV against Jay Lethal for the ROH championship, and then on 1/4, wrestling Shinsuke Nakamura at the Tokyo Dome for the IC title.
As of this writing, it’s not clear when he’ll be able to return to in-ring action.
