As we previously reported here on eWn, Bryan Danielson suffered a broken orbital bone last week on AEW Dynamite with Claudio Castagnoli announcing the news on Saturday’s episode of Collision.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Radio is reporting that Danielson didn’t suffer the broken orbital bone injury last week on Dynamite.
Rather, the injury took place four days earlier on Collision when Danielson wrestled Andrade El Idolo in singles action. Meltzer said,
“Yeah, I guess he went in with a black eye. They didn’t know how serious he was, because obviously, he worked on it. They shot the angle to take him out during the match. So, the injury took place when they bonked heads. It was basically a fluke. It wasn’t one of those things where he got hit too hard or anything. Andrade was doing a spinning elbow, and Danielson’s head was in one place and they bonked heads, and that happens in fights and things like that fairly often.”
You can check out a clip of the Danielson vs. Andrade match where it’s believed the injury occurred below:
Yeah, I’m almost positive the Bryan Danielson injury happened here on the rolling elbow. Clonked heads, communication with the ref and right in to the finish.

Bryan Danielson, also known as Daniel Bryan, recently suffered a broken orbital bone during a wrestling match. However, there has been some confusion regarding when and how the injury occurred.
Initially, it was reported that Danielson sustained the injury on AEW Dynamite. But according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Radio, the injury actually took place four days earlier during a match with Andrade El Idolo on Collision.
Meltzer explained that Danielson had a black eye going into the match, but the severity of the injury was not known at the time. They shot an angle during the match to take him out, and it was during this sequence that Danielson and Andrade accidentally bonked heads, resulting in the broken orbital bone. Meltzer emphasized that it was a fluke incident and not a result of a particularly hard hit.
A clip of the match between Danielson and Andrade has been shared on social media, showing the moment where the injury likely occurred. The clip shows Danielson getting hit with a spinning elbow from Andrade, causing their heads to collide.
It is worth noting that Danielson already had a mouse under his eye before the tag match on AEW Dynamite, indicating that the injury had already taken place prior to that event.
