WWE Weekend Tour – Styles out with injury, new line-ups

May 12 Weekend WWE Tour

TORCH READER ALERT: If you attend an event, we’re looking for results/reports sent to pwtorch@gmail.com.

– As of Friday morning, WWE was advertising A.J. Styles for top matches on this weekend’s tour. Then, WWE pulled Styles from all three advertised shows this weekend.

Styles is reportedly injured from the first four months of working the full-time WWE schedule. Included was Styles taking a powerbomb through the announce table two weeks ago on Raw, but he no-sold the effects in a SportsCenter interview the next night on ESPNews.

For those of you who were expecting to see AJ Styles this weekend, I apologize. Banged my ankle up pretty good, but I'll be ready for RAW.
