• AEW/ROH wrestler Bandido is sidelined again after suffering a concussion during his return at the Final Battle 2024 PPV this past Friday.
Bandido, who had been out since last summer due to a wrist injury requiring two surgeries, made his comeback by hitting a missile dropkick during a post-match segment after Chris Jericho defeated Matt Cardona to retain the ROH World Championship.

So, you give Bandido 3 weeks of vignettes on AEW DYNAMITE, to debut him on a dead brand, to NO POP, and he gets a concussion to boot for THIS?

The landing caused the concussion, as confirmed by both the Wrestling Observer and Bandido himself via Instagram.
Here’s what Bandido wrote:
“All I can do is thank God for allowing me to wake up another day after all that has been through! The blow was in a delicate area of my head, now just to wait till there is no brain inflammation. Thank you to all my people who have been messaging me asking about my current status!!
It’s been hard to cope with these days with myself, too much frustration runs over my head. The hardest battle of my life is coming, with myself!! All I can say is that I will try to return a thousand and one times to the squad!! so I achieve it at some point or stay trying…!
‘Neither you, nor me, nor anyone will hit as hard as life but no matter how hard you do it! No matter how hard you resist and keep moving forward, that’s how you win – ROCKY BALBOA’.”
