<p><strong>AJ Styles</strong> suffered a back injury in his match against <strong>Seth Rollins</strong> back at Money in the Bank, which forced him to miss Super ShowDown and has left him on the treatment table for the past few months. Styles&#8217; appearance on Raw this week fueled speculation that The Phenomenal One was ready to make his return, but according to <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="The Wrestling Observer, (opens in a new tab)" href="http://www.f4wonline.com" target="_blank">The Wrestling Observer,</a> this isn&#8217;t the case.</p>



<p>Styles is reportedly not yet cleared to make his in-ring return, which is why he was featured in a backstage segment, but the company is hopeful that he will be cleared in time for the tour of Japan, which starts on June 28th.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>WrestleMania Could Take Place In London In The Near Future</strong></h2>



<p>WWE has always had a positive relationship with The United Kingdom, but the last main roster pay-per-view that took place across the pond was SummerSlam 1992. Of course, Triple H tested the water back in 2015 with NXT Takeover: London which was deemed a huge success, ahead of the debut of NXT UK which has proved popular with the home crowd.</p>



<p>WrestleMania has always been something that the United Kingdom has pushed for and with the recent news that WWE switches from Sky Sports to BT Sport in January 2020, now could be the perfect time for the company to bring the biggest show of the year to UK shores.</p>

<p>JBL&#8217;s departure was surrounded by controversy, but enough time could have passed now for him to make his return to be part of the current 24/7 Championship picture.
