It looks like two members of The Undisputed Elite are on the shelf for now.
This week on AEW Rampage and Dynamite, we saw further development in the storyline between Sting, Darby Allin and reDRagon. On Rampage, Sting would take out both members of the heel team and would then be challenged by The Young Bucks for a 8 man tag at Forbidden Door. It turns out, both members of reDRagon are injured outside of kayfabe also.
Appearing on the AEW Unrestricted podcast, Tony Khan provided an update on both men:
“We’re going to make the best of a bad situation with injuries. A long list of big stars out. Now, with another injury, you have Bullet Club coming together to get some revenge on Sting & Darby,” he said the Bullet Club vs. Dudes With Attitudes bout at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door bout. “Kyle O’Reilly, getting taken out by Sting, that’s a real life legitimate injury and Kyle O’Reilly is out, not sure how long, but it’s a big loss and we were not expecting that. He had been on fire for the company, it’s a big deal to lose Kyle O’Reilly. With Fish and O’Reilly being out, Fish just had a great main event with Darby on Rampage, that’s another big loss for the company, Fish, we expect back sooner from that ankle injury than O’Reilly with his injuries. Neither one is available for the pay-per-view. Kyle O’Reilly, we hope to get back soon. Bobby Fish, I know is going to be back soon.”

Time will tell how long the pair will be out of the ring but it is a shame we will not see Kyle or Fish in the ring at Forbidden Door.
