Despite sustaining a shoulder injury during a Friday match for CMLL, Ring of Honor World Champion and AEW World Tag Team Champion Bandido is going to attempt to push through it.

During Saturday’s AEW Collision, he and partner Brody King were announced for Tuesday’s special edition of Dynamite, taking on Konosuke Takeshita & Kazuchika Okada in a Double Jeopardy match where a shot at both the Tag Team titles and Okada’s Unified title will be on the line.

On Saturday, AEW head Tony Khan replied to a King X post (“Mr Bandido, you better tape your shoulder back together we got work to do.”), saying, “I talked to him this morning! He said that he wants to power through it + wrestle on Tuesday!”

Bandido said his shoulder “popped out” during the Friday match against Hechicero.

Nick Wayne may be out up to two more months as he continues to recover from a broken foot.

The reigning ROH men’s TV Champion appeared on Saturday’s Collision in a backstage segment when AEW medical told him his ankle was still swollen and he was out six-to-eight more weeks. Wayne was less than thrilled with the news.

Wayne was injured in August which forced him off the Forbidden door pay-per-view. His last match was in mid-July, but it’s unclear how or where the 20-year-old sustained the injury.
