Bryan Danielson Suffers Injury Scare Whilst Having Broken Orbital Bone at Recent AEW Tapings

The AEW Collision show was taped early on Tuesday as an NHL match was scheduled to take place at the Bell Centre in Montreal, QC. Hence, the show was recorded with limited fans and journalists. The show progressed as usual but the main event turned out to be painful for Danielson’s fans.

Bryan Danielson avoids injury but suffers collateral damage

Host of Ringside Report, Dave Simon, took to X on December 5th to share a picture of a bleeding Bryan Danielson inside the AEW ring. In the picture, Bryan Danielson is sitting in the ring bleeding while being surrounded by members of the production crew and medic team.

Reports suggest that the former WWE Champion may have avoided a potential injury from his match at the recent episode of AEW Collision. Former WWE superstar Andrade El Idolo took on Bryan Danielson in a singles match where the Latino superstar attacked Danielson’s head a bit more than usual.

The assault resulted in an injury scare as Danielson was left with a damaged orbital bone (near his right eye) in the process. He was bleeding after the match as the medic team attended him and escorted him out of the ring. Danielson has previously stated that he has been going through issues with his orbital bone and this may be his last year of active in-ring work.
