Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens ambushed the pair from behind and began a brutal assault.
That included targeting the WWE champion’s leg with multiple chair shots in the ring.
The referee then reportedly waved the ‘X’ sign to the back which usually indicates a wrestler is legitimately injured.
Styles is then pictured being helped backstage by WWE officials and struggling to walk on his leg.
