AJ Styles suffered a separated shoulder during the Royal Rumble match when he was speared by Edge and flipped over, landing on his left shoulder.

Styles is optimistic that he’ll be ready to return in four to six weeks, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio.

On his Mixer channel, Styles said that he is not going to miss WrestleMania. “I’m not missing WrestleMania. I’ll scratch and claw my way there.” (h/t: Fightful)

He also put “zero blame” on Edge for the injury, saying that it was his fault and he was just trying to take a good bump for the spear.
