Bryan Danielson will unfortunately miss both the upcoming Forbidden Door PPV as well as the Blood and Guts match due to an undisclosed injury that he suffered during the Anarchy at the Arena match at AEW Double or Nothing.
Former WWE Superstar Johnny Gargano recently announced that he'll be in Chicago this Sunday, creating an odd coincidence. With Danielson set to be replaced, could Gargano be the debuting star?
While Gargano announced that he'd be in Chicago on the 26th of July for the The Chicago Card Show, the star pointed out that it's simply a coincidence.
"I promise you this is ridiculously coincidental and has been booked for months. I'll only be in Chicago for like 8 hours! *I also realize in saying this that only like 5% of you are going to believe I'm actually telling the truth." - Johnny Gargano Tweeted.

Bryan Danielson's substitution has not officially been announced as of writing, leaving Gargano's appearance as simply coincidental right now. However, Danielson noted that his handpicked replacement will "kick Chris Jericho's head in," and Johnny Wrestling is known for his kicks.
