Bryan Danielson could potentially miss AEW All In London after his broken arm appears to be ‘worse’ than everyone initially thought.
The All Elite Wrestling star, best known to WWE fans as Daniel Bryan before leaving and joining Tony Khan’s rival promotion, suffered a horror injury over the weekend at the Forbidden Door 2 event in collaboration with New Japan Pro Wrestling.
Danielson suffered a forearm fracture and still pushed on for another 10 minutes to finish his main event dream match with Kazuchika Okada.
Despite the injury occurring after a relatively innocuous elbow drop from his opponent, the wrestler had confirmed he could miss six to eight weeks of action.
However, his wife Brie Garcia – AKA WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella – has now given a much less positive update.
She shared her husband’s X-ray on her Instagram Story, showing the nasty break and admitting the prognosis isn’t great.

She wrote: ‘Not sure to be proud or chastise him for wrestling 10 more minutes with this break!! Definitely worse than we thought!! Nurse Brie ready for action!! (sic)’
The ever-committed performer pushed on through the pain to make sure fans went home happy and beat Okada to end the show on a high note, but he was visibly favouring his arm in the latter stages.
Speaking to media in a post show scrum, the so-called American Dragon – who had made his entrance to Europe classic The Final Countdown for the first time in years – revealed the injury occurred when his elbow wasn’t in a safe space as his opponent hit a top rope elbow drop.

‘I was planning on wrestling on Wednesday this week. I don’t think that’s going to happen because, in this specifically, we think I fractured my right forearm with about 10 minutes left to go,’ he said. ‘Talking to our doctors, and I love the AEW medical staff and trainers, they think it’s going to be six to eight weeks for this specific injury.’
However, if Brie’s update is correct and he’s facing even longer out, it would put Danielson at risk of missing AEW’s huge Wembley Stadium show on August 27.
