AEW star and WWE legend Bryan Danielson suffers horror fractured forearm after move goes horribly wrong
WWE legend Daniel Bryan suffered a horror injury during All Elite Wrestling’s latest pay-per-view extravaganza.
The 42-year-old shocked the wrestling world in 2021 when he turned down a new WWE deal to join rival promotion AEW.
He now performs under his real name Bryan Danielson and is part of the Blackpool Combat Club alongside fellow ex-WWE performers Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli.
The superstar was in action on Sunday night in the main event of the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view.
And he showed his steel to emerge victorious against Kazuchika Okada by forcing him to tap out.
But the win was even more impressive after he revealed he suffered a gruesome injury with ten minutes of the main event remaining.

He says it occurred when Okada gave him a simple elbow drop.
Danielson also said that doctors have told him that the injury will keep him out of action for six to eight weeks.
The grappler was forced to retire due to medical issues in 2016 but made a triumphant return two years later after finally getting the all-clear.
