Bryan Danielson broken orbital bone occurs during Collision match with Andrade

Bryan Danielson likely out for the remainder of 2023; injured in Collision match against Andrade​

Bryan Danielson is back on the injured list–this time, with a fluke injury.

It will severely impact the next two months of AEW programming, which will lose significant star power without Danielson.

Danielson was hurt last week on Collision during a superb match against Andrade, doing damage to his orbital bone, Sports Illustrated has learned. The injury will require surgery. Danielson did wrestle five nights later on Dynamite in a tag match with Claudio Castagnoli against Kazuchika Okada and Orange Cassidy, but Castagnoli carried the bulk of the match.



That continues the Blackpool Combat Club-CHAOS arc. Castagnoli wrestles Cassidy this Wednesday on Dynamite, and there is also a possibility that he will finally have a chance to go one-on-one with Okada.

Can Danielson return early and wrestle at AEW’s newly announced Worlds End pay-per-view on December 30? If healthy, another priority is a match against Okada at the Tokyo Dome on January 4 for New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom, which could very well serve as one of Danielson’s career highlights.

Unfortunately, injuries have been a recurring issue for Danielson during his run in AEW, particularly as of late. But this one should only be a minor detour before he returns in 2024.

Damn it. Hope he recovers quickly.

Andrade hurt someone, time to say he don't belong in the business.

 

[Cwalker]

Heal up soon Bryan. Sucks that he’s had this run of bad luck with injuries this year

 

[Death By Looch]

Damn... the guy can't catch a break, huh

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Heal up soon Bryan. Sucks that he’s had this run of bad luck with injuries this year

I will say this, at least its been bone breaks and not ligaments? I know thats not much of a positive but the time off is lesser at least

 

[Roy Mustang]

Fuck off. God fucking damnit

 

[Deezy]

Damn... the guy can't catch a break, huh

His orbital and arm caught some breaks

So he got injured on Collision but they said it happened on Dynamite kayfabe-wise?

Toby Schiavone confirms Danielson has had surgery, but not a long recovery

"He's undergone surgery," Schiavone said on the show. "He'll be out until later in the year."

 

[Cwalker]

I remember Taker broke his orbital bone a couple times. I don’t think he was ever out too long. I think he wrestled with a protective mask the first time but didn’t the second time

 

[Chris]

Yeah I think the surgery was what people were worried about, if it could heal without it he could come back soon but everyone was acting like it'd be the rest of the year for sure if he had the surgery. This sounds like even with it they expect him to make Worlds End

Bryan uses a sheep inspired mask to honor his former stablemate.
