Forbidden Door was conceived last year to dig the best of All Elite Wrestling against the best of NPJW. Danielson took up the challenge by calling out The Rainmaker to a first-ever match at the Forbidden Door. The American Dragon prevailed till the end, backing up his claim of being the best wrestler in the world. That said, when he will prove himself in the ring again is a fact up in the air for now.
As long as we forwarded with six to eight weeks of approximate absence time, there was still a chance for Bryan to show up at AEW All-In on August 27. But after his wife, ex-WWE star Brie Bella, shared a concerning message through Instagram stating that the injury was more serious than first thought, it seems a far-fetched idea.
Showing off the X-Ray copy of the cracked arm, one-half of The Bella Twins wrote, ”Not sure to be proud of chastise him for wrestling 10 more minutes with this break!! Definitely worse than we thought.”

Apart from the very legit possibility of him missing All In, AEW’s biggest show to date, he might also miss AEW All Out 2023, which will go live one week after All In from the United Center in Chicago. Needless to mention, the weekly shows are too on the missing events list.
