AEW star concussed in first in-ring action after 550+ days away - Reports

An AEW star who recently made their return to action has reportedly been diagnosed with a concussion. It seems they'll have to go on a hiatus once more amidst the situation. This would be Bandido.

The luchador has not been seen since June last year at an episode of AEW Rampage. Last weekend, he made his return at ROH Final Battle. He came out to come to the aid of Matt Cardona, as he cleaned house and took out The Learning Tree.

During a point in the segment, Bandido went to the top rope and hit a Missile Dropkick on Chris Jericho. However, he ended up landing on his head, and he seemed a little dazed afterward.

Recently, Dave Meltzer reported on the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Bandido indeed suffered a concussion during the show. He also mentioned that a feud with Jericho, including a potential title match, was scheduled for him. However, it is now unclear how long he'll remain out of action.

This is another unfortunate situation, seeing as the AEW luchador had to work through a lot, including surgery procedures, to become ready for an in-ring return. Fans who were waiting for his first match in one and a half years may have to wait a little longer after this.
