AEW star Bryan Danielson recently suffered an injury during the tapings for Friday’s AEW Rampage. After Danielson and Jon Moxley wrestled Matt Sydal and Dante Martin in a tag team bout, there was a post-match angle involving Jericho Appreciation Society (JAS). Danielson was apparently injured during the Blackpool Combat Club’s brawl with JAS. At one point during the brawl, Danielson’s leg got caught in between the ring and the elevated rampway. According to fans at the arena, Danielson was stuck for several minutes until AEW medical personnel ran out to assist him. While, it may look legitimate, the reports suggest it was a worked angle.
Bryan Danielson injury is kayfabe
Bryan Alvarez recently reported that Danielson is physically fine after his leg got caught in between the AEW Dynamite entrance ramp and ring. The report indicated that the situation and injury was an angle coming out of an idea that Danielson had and that everyone involved played up their concern factor.
Danielson and fellow Blackpool Combat Club member, Jon Moxley, wrestled Dante Martin & Matt Sydal. The angle went down after the match and was caught by multiple fan videos that were then posted on social media.
It has been also noted on this week’s AEW Dynamite, Blackpool Combat Club had promoted face-to-face with The Jericho Appreciate Society. A major five-on-five match was made for Double or Nothing with BCC teaming with Eddie Kingston & Santana & Ortiz against the full Jericho Appreciation Society.
AEW Double or Nothing will air live on PPV on May 29 from Las Vegas. Other announced matches on the show include C.M. Punk vs. “Hangman” Adam Page for the AEW World Championship, a triple threat match between Jurassic Express, Team Taz, and Swerve Strickland & Keith Lee for the AEW Tag Team Championship, Wardlow vs. MJF, and Thunder Rosa vs. Serena Deeb for the AEW Women’s World Championship.
