Bryan Danielson's Forbidden Door Injury Worse Than First Thought
Bryan Danielson's status for AEW All In 2023 and AEW All Out 2023 remains unclear given his recent injury is worse than first believed.
At last weekend's AEWxNJPW: Forbidden Door event, Danielson defeated Kazuchika Okada by submission in an instant classic to headline the show. Danielson had missed last year's Forbidden Door event due to an injury.
During the post-Forbidden Door media scrum, Danielson suffered what is believed to be a fractured forearm but said he did not regret continuing the match. It was initially believed that his injury would keep him out of action for six to eight weeks, meaning it was possible he could be back in time for the much-anticipated AEW All In event on August 27, in London. In an injury update,
Bryan’s wife Brie shared a message on Instagram that his injury is worst than first thought along with an X-ray photo.
With Danielson's injury worse than expected, there is a very real possibility that he could miss All In. The August show will be AEW's first event in the UK, as well as the company's biggest show to date, with over 60,000 tickets being sold inside Wembley Stadium. This injury could also force Danielson to miss AEW All Out 2023. The show will take one week after All In at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois on September 3. No matches or wrestlers have been formally announced for either event at this time.
Danielson is not expected to compete on tonight's episode of AEW Dynamite.
