AJ Styles has returned to WWE following an injury.

On the night of the 2023 WWE Draft, The O.C. (AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson, and Michin) were drafted to SmackDown. Once known as the house that AJ Styles built, SmackDown is where AJ Styles chose to return from a broken ankle injury that he suffered on December 29 at a WWE Live event in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

While he avoided surgery, he was on the shelf for four months. On April 28, he returned and led The O.C. as they attacked The Viking Raiders and Valhalla.

AJ would end the segment with a Phenomenal Forearm and say they're just starting.
