AEW status updates on Bryan Danielson, Mercedes Mone, Bandido

[Chris]

Injury updates are available for several wrestlers.
Our own Dave Meltzer addressed the status of Bryan Danielson, Mercedes Mone, and Bandido in the latest edition of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Danielson has been out of action since Forbidden Door 2 when he suffered a broken arm in his match against Kazuchika Okada. He underwent surgery to repair the injury on July 3 and was expected to be out for three months, missing Grand Slam on September 20.

Meltzer wrote in Friday's newsletter that Danielson has been told he will be able to return in October. It could be a "photo finish" to see if he's cleared in time for WrestleDream in Seattle on October 1.

"It will probably need a photo finish, but Bryan Danielson was told he could return in October, and being in Seattle, that would be the place if everything goes well and if he can cross the finish line by those dates," Meltzer wrote.

Mone's situation is not as clear. She was shown in the stands at Wembley Stadium but Tony Khan emphasized on yesterday's media call that Mone will not be cleared by WrestleDream. Meltzer wrote in Friday's newsletter that her foot is still in a cast and she was using a wheelchair at the airport in London.

"We do know from people who saw her this weekend that her foot was in a full cast still and when she was at the airport in London, she had someone wheeling her around in a wheelchair," Meltzer wrote.

Bandido suffered a triangular fibrocartilage complex injury (bones that connect the forearm to the wrist) in his match against Konosuke Takeshita on the June 14 AEW Rampage taping. It is believed he had surgery to repair the injury in early July and is on track to return sometime this month.

"Bandido has the cast off his wrist so he should be back soon. He got the pin taken out two weeks ago and September was originally when he was expected to return," Meltzer wrote.
