According to multiple sources, the injury spot with Bryan Danielson in his match with Will Ospreay was “pre-planned.” It is said that this is all a kayfabe storyline injury.
During the post-AEW Dynasty 2024 media scrum, AEW President Tony Khan said that Danielson is doing “okay.”
Despite Khan’s comments, Ospreay continued to sell the storyline by saying that the spot put “a little bit of a dampener on how the dust has settled” after such a great match.
You can check out some highlights from the post-show media scrum below:
On Bryan Danielson getting “hurt”: “A little bit of a dampener on how the dust has settled now. I’ve reviewed the footage myself. It seemed that Bryan got hurt on the Storm Driver, and I didn’t see the doctor call. The referee called for the doctor, and I didn’t see it. So, I want to apologize on that. Obviously, within the confines of wrestling, I do go like I said, in the ring, it’s your life versus mine, until you kind of see it in the face of what I did. And I feel awful about this, so even though 90% of the time that move’s been absolutely fine, seeing the damage that it’s kind of done, I’m gonna retire using the Storm Driver ’91.”
On why he won’t continue using the move: I don’t think it’s right for me to continue using it after seeing what it did to Bryan, someone who I’ve got huge amounts of respect for. This is a dream match. This is something I’ve wanted since I was a kid, bruv. So, to see see the outcome, although I’m happy everyone enjoyed the match, I’m kind of disappointed in myself. So once again, I apologize to Bryan. I apologize to AEW medics. I apologize to Tony [Khan], and yeah, other than that, any questions?”
