For the first time in three months, former WWE champion AJ
Styles will be returning to Smackdown next week.

Styles was last seen at Clash at the Castle in Glasgow,
Scotland, in June, losing an I Quit match to Cody Rhodes and
disappeared from television after that.

He has been wrestling occasionally during his time away from
television, appearing for Pro Wrestling NOAH in July for a
match against Naomichi Marufuji and also appearing at several
WWE non-televised live events.

His current WWE contract is believed to be expiring at the end
of 2024.
