Fightful Select reported that their sources stated AJ’s injury did not occur during the match itself but instead had actually occurred earlier in the day prior to the show.
AJ reportedly was stated to have “largely kept it to himself” due to he did not want to disappoint fans or “waste” all the promotion that had gone into his match against Marshall.
