AJ Styles has now been pulled from all WWE Smackdown Live events until their December 26th show at Madison Square Garden. Styles will defend his title against Dean Ambrose and John Cena in a triple threat match. He will then defend his title the next night on Smackdown Live against James Ellsworth.

On last night’s Talking Smack Styles told Smackdown GM Daniel Bryan that he, “could go,” if he needed to wrestle.
