Christopher Daniels Shares Update On Eye Injury, His Potential Return To AEW Programming

Christopher Daniels‘ eye looks just as bad now as it did nine months ago, but he says it looks worse than it is.

All Elite Wrestling‘s Christopher Daniels was the latest guest on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet to discuss a variety of subjects. When asked about the status of his red bloodshot eye, Daniels revealed despite how bad it looks; it doesn’t affect his vision at all.

“It’s still the same; I don’t know if you can tell,” Christopher Daniels said jokingly. “But it’s alright, man, it’s just but a flesh wound, as they would say in Monty Python. But I’m doing all right, man. Thanks for asking. It’s more cosmetic than anything. I’ve been checked up a couple times the visions fine. It’s just gnarly looking.

“When I talked to the doctor about it, he said that this can happen on occasion that hemorrhages just sort of don’t drain or heal. And it doesn’t have to do with the iris itself. It’s just the white of the eye that’s sort of discolored. So yeah, I mean it could be like this — It could dry up in a week, or it could be like this for a while. I have no idea. This is the first time it’s ever stuck with me. I’ve had this injury before, not this eye. But I mean, I’ve had hemorrhages before from black eyes and things like that, but for some reason, this one’s just sticking.”

The Fallen Angel hasn’t been seen on AEW programming in nine months. When asked about potentially returning to Dynamite soon, Daniels admitted that he hopes that changes soon, but there’s no real timetable at the moment.

“Yeah. Hopefully, that changes soon,” Christopher Daniels admitted. “But you know, the landscape of AEW is in constant flux, additions, subtractions. So I mean, it’s just a crowded field right now, and hopefully, I can make my way back there. But you know, there’s no real timetable as to when that might be. So I’m sort of at the mercy of circumstance.”
