AJ Styles Hospitalized After Being Attacked By The Bloodline 9/22 On WWE SmackDown

Glendale, September 22, 2023 - Tonight's main event from Glendale, AZ took an unexpected turn as WWE had to change the plan with one superstar getting out of action due to testing positive for COVID-19.

Originally, LA Knight was listed as being involved in tonight's contract signing. Knight was listed as a surprise to help John Cena. He was also internally listed as teaming with Cena in a dark match following the show.



Following the completion of the show, Fightful Select came out with another report stating that LA Knight tested positive for COVID just before WWE Smackdown, and had to leave the building.

Adam Pearce was already in the ring when he introduced Cena as the first participant. Cena stepped into the ring and signed the contract without any disruptions. Next up was AJ Styles, but the action took a turn as Styles got attacked backstage by The Bloodline.

John quickly left the ring and headed backstage to assist Styles. Meanwhile, Solo leaped from some cases with a splash onto Styles. WWE officials intervened, separating Styles from the cases, and Cena arrived to check on him.



After the commercial break, Styles was shown being taken out in an ambulance to the hospital.

In the arena, Paul Heyman appeared, and Jimmy and Solo soon joined him. Solo's fiery temperament led to him tossing objects out of the ring, which elicited loud boos from the crowd. Heyman attempted to address the crowd, but they wouldn't let him speak. Eventually, Heyman announced that he had the contract in his hands, signed by the second "Greatest of All Time" without a tag partner.

Jimmy grabbed the microphone and took a jab at Cena, sparking a brawl. Cena swiftly took down Solo, entered the ring, and rained down punches on Jimmy. Cena then executed an Attitude Adjustment on Jimmy, but Solo retaliated with a superkick, followed by a Samoan Spike. Jimmy contributed with another superkick, and Solo delivered a Frog Splash from the top rope. Finally, Jimmy and Solo signed the contract, with Jimmy placing it on John's chest before climbing to the top for another Frog Splash.
