I’m pretty sure this is when AJ Styles got that cut on his head. Making his way out #wrestlemania #AJStyles[/caption]

Initial reports suggested the damage had been done by stray pyrotechnics during Styles’ dramatic entrance.

But FOXSports WWE expert Ryan Satin later claimed Styles smacked his head on the set just seconds before walking out at the AT&T Stadium in Texas.

And footage of the incident seems to back up his claim.

In a video posted to Twitter, Styles can be seen banging his head on the set with such force he almost took his eye out.

The resulting cut seen as he made his way to the ring was worryingly close to his right eye.

But ever the professional, Styles well and truly styled out the incident, carrying on as if nothing had happened.

He proceeded to play up to the crowd as pyrotechnics went off around him, just moments after the painful whack to the face.

It’s just a shame for him he couldn’t come out on top when he got inside the ring.
