Watch AJ Styles Sustain Gruesome Injury During Backlash

AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura really took each other to the limit but the spot which seemingly caused Styles the most damage might have been his fault in the first place.

To be fair, it was Shinsuke Nakamura who brought the chair in the ring. But after hitting an exploder suplex on the chair for a two count, Nakamura geared up for a Kinshasa but AJ had other plans. Styles launched the steel chair at Nakamura and the speed of Shinsuke caused the steel chair to bounce off of him and whack AJ in the face.

The back of the steel chair struck AJ Styles in the face busting his cheek open in the process. It looks like this shot scrapped a lot of skin off of his phenomenal face. Let’s hope he heals up quickly.
