AJ Styles Taken Out On Stretcher After Bloodline Attacked Him On The Latest Episode Of WWE Smackdown
The arena lights dimmed, and the suspenseful atmosphere at this week’s Friday Night SmackDown was palpable. While every episode is full of unexpected turns and thrilling action, this week’s episode will go down in WWE history for the vicious attack on AJ Styles by The Bloodline. It wasn’t just a testament to the wrestling prowess of the Bloodline members but also marked a significant escalation in the storyline between The Bloodline and John Cena.
It was evident from the very start of the evening that tensions were high. John Cena opened SmackDown, expressing his frustrations about repeatedly facing off against The Bloodline. The 16-time World Champion has battled numerous opponents in his illustrious career, but The Bloodline seemed to be giving him a particularly challenging time. Cena’s solution to this ongoing problem? Finding a partner who could help him even the odds.
And who better to side with Cena than AJ Styles? As Cena put it, he wanted a ‘phenomenal’ partner. The two have had their differences in the past, but common adversaries often make for unexpected allies. Styles didn’t hesitate and accepted Cena’s proposal. The duo then boldly issued a challenge to The Bloodline for a tag team match.
For those unfamiliar with the current WWE dynamics, The Bloodline is one of the most dominant factions in wrestling today. Led by the Universal Champion Roman Reigns, it also features the dynamic duo of Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa. The group has been on a tear recently, making life miserable for anyone who dares to stand in their way.
It seemed that The Bloodline was cornered by Cena and Styles’ challenge. Although Jimmy and Solo appeared in response to the issued challenge, they didn’t seem eager to give a straight answer. Instead of agreeing or declining, they chose to walk away, leaving the audience in suspense.
Subsequently, WWE Official Adam Pearce saw this as an opportunity to formalize the challenge. He drafted a contract for the proposed tag team bout, with Cena quickly adding his signature, eagerly awaiting Styles to finalize the agreement. But as the minutes ticked by, it became clear that something was amiss. AJ Styles was nowhere to be found. The uncertainty in the arena was palpable as everyone awaited the appearance of the Phenomenal One.
As the episode progressed, fans were given a glimpse of what happened backstage. It was a scene that sent shockwaves throughout the WWE Universe. Styles, who was making his way to the ring, was ambushed by Jimmy Uso in a brutal backstage altercation. Uso displayed a level of aggression not often seen, even in WWE, as he ruthlessly threw Styles over a table surrounded by equipment boxes. But that wasn’t the end of it. From a staggering 15-foot-high platform, Solo Sikoa then took his turn, delivering a devastating splash that left Styles motionless on the ground.
The gravity of the situation became more evident when WWE on FOX shared the video of the savage assault on their official social media. Reactions poured in from fans and wrestlers alike, condemning The Bloodline’s actions and showing support for Styles.
As medical professionals rushed to the scene, it became clear that Styles was severely injured. The 46-year-old Phenomenal One was loaded onto a stretcher, and the grim sight of him being transported to an ambulance marked one of the darkest moments in recent WWE memory. Cena, who was waiting in the ring for his partner, could only watch in horror and disbelief. He was left standing alone, a poignant image contrasting with the earlier excitement of their proposed team-up.
The implications of this incident are vast. While immediate concerns are understandably centered on the health and well-being of AJ Styles, the longer-term repercussions on the WWE landscape are yet to be seen. This brutal attack not only intensifies the feud between Cena and The Bloodline but also raises questions about Styles’ future and whether he will seek revenge once he recovers.
