Bryan Danielson suffered what is believed to be a fractured right arm at Sunday night’s AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door II pay-per-view event.

During the post-AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door II media scrum, Danielson revealed that he believes he suffered an arm fracture with about 10 minutes left in the match. The injury will likely require 6-8 weeks of recovery time.

Additionally, Danielson commented on using “The Final Countdown” theme for his entrance. For those unaware, the band Europe charges an arm and a leg to license the theme song so this is likely a one-off deal.

You can check out some highlights from the media scrum below:

On whether “The Final Countdown” will be back as a regular theme: “I think that’s a question for Tony, because they want a zillion dollars per play, so uh, [laughs]. I didn’t even ask for it, to be honest. Tony came up with the idea, I thought it was really cool. And I was legitimately — I was a little bit angry right before I went out there. And then I heard ‘Final Countdown’ play, and it literally just put a smile on my face. I said it out there at the end of the show, but I legitimately don’t think I’ve heard that song since I last came out to it in Ring of Honor.”

On if he’s going to stay more part-time: “I was planning on wrestling on Wednesday this week. I don’t think that’s gonna happen, because in this match specifically, we think I fractured my right forearm with about 10 minutes left to go. So yeah — but talking to our doctors, and I love the AEW medical staff and trainers, they think it’s gonna be six to eight weeks for this specific injury.

“The stuff after Revolution, after the Iron Man match with Max [I] had a torn labrum and some compressed vertebrae and all that stuff. It’s just normal wrestler stuff. I’m fine, but we just thought from a precautionary measure [to hold off]. That’s what I love, I mean I love our medical staff’… we have an incredible training staff and I try to follow their direction.”
