Bryan Danielson is set to take on Kazuchika Okada in an incredible first time ever matchup this Sunday.
Danielson has not wrestled in matches on AEW TV for quite some time now, and it appears there is a physical reason for this.
Fightful Select reports that Danielson is dealing with some small injuries and is “banged up”.
Fightful Select has learned that Bryan Danielson has been “banged up” of late, and there were some spots limited in his AEW Double or Nothing 2023 Anarchy in the Arena match as a result. Prior to that match, Danielson hadn’t worked since the 60 Minute Iron Match main event for the world title at AEW Revolution in March. Danielson has instead worked commentary for Blackpool Combat Club matches, while largely avoiding contact in the many brawls that have happened during that time. Danielson has also been heavily involved in creative in the first several weeks of AEW Collision.

With such a big match going down at Forbidden Door, it makes sense that AEW have kept Danielson out of the ring while he is feeling banged up. Bryan has been on commentary a lot as of late, possibly linked to his physical issues at this time.
