You won't be bumped for someone with more status or LPs.

A few possibilitiies are
  1. Equipment swap - Aircraft type change. Sometimes, the system glitches and reassigns seats even if the swap is to the same type. Someone may have been looking and snapped up 9D
  2. Broken seat - Unlikely this early though
  3. FAM - Air Marshall. In which case, you're stuck.
You can call AA and ask if they can see anything. If it is #3, they can't/won't say anything.
