For those wondering if Bryan Danielson is injured following a scary scene at AEW Dynasty last night, the American Dragon is fine. Well, as fine as one can be when having gone through such a hard-hitting, frantic war with Will Ospreay.

The end of Danielson vs. Ospreay saw the Aerial Assassin hit his Storm Driver, which resulted in referee Bryce Resmburg immediately calling for medical assistance for Bryan. Unaware of this, Ospreay then hit the Hidden Blade on the Blackpool Combat Club man and scored the 1-2-3.

Post-match, Ospreay showed concern for Bryan Danielson upon being informed by Remsburg what had happened, and the Englishman even helped to take Danielson to the back. Added to that, the post-Dynasty media scrum saw Will announce he's retiring the Storm Driver.

Per Fightful Select, as many will have guessed, this end sequence to Danielson vs. Ospreay was planned ahead of time. So, while Bryan - and Will Ospreay, for that matter - will likely be banged up following what was a true Match of the Year contender, he wasn't injured when taking the Storm Driver or the Hidden Blade that followed it.
