Bryan Danielson defeated NEVER Openweight Six-Man Tag Team Champion Kazuchika Okada in the main event of Sunday’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door II pay-per-view. Danielson made an appearance at the post-show media scrum and revealed that he may have broken his right forearm near the end of the match.
Danielson said he planned to wrestle on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, but he expects to be out for 6-8 weeks.
“We think I fractured my right forearm with about ten minutes left to go,” he said. “But talking to our doctors, and I love the AEW medical staff and trainers, they think it’s going to be 6-8 weeks for this specific injury.”
Danielson stated that the injury occurred when Okada delivered a top rope elbow, and that when Okada landed, his arm was not in a safe space. He later described the injury as a freak accident and admitted that it altered the final 10 minutes of the game.
Danielson also revealed in the Forbidden Door scrum that he tore his labrum in March during his loss to AEW World Champion MJF at Revolution. Danielson has only wrestled twice since that match: Sunday night’s victory over Okada and the Anarchy In the Arena match at AEW Double Or Nothing in May, in which The Blackpool Combat Club defeated The Elite.
