Andy reported earlier today here on eWn that AJ Styles has been removed from numerous upcoming WWE live events. He is not expected to return to live events until the December 26th live event from MSG. That means he’ll be missing this weekend’s WWE SmackDown house shows in Peterborough and Barrie, Ontario, Canada.
WWE released the following photos and videos from Tuesday night’s WWE SmackDown main event featuring Dolph Ziggler vs. Luke Harper vs. Dean Ambrose vs. The Miz in a Fatal 4-Way match. Ziggler won the match to earn a shot at AJ Styles WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the December 27th SmackDown broadcast. John Cena will also be returning to SmackDown that night.
