AEW President Tony Khan has confirmed that ROH World Champion Bandido will compete on the upcoming AEW Dynamite: Title Tuesday, despite dealing with a shoulder injury suffered during a recent title defense. The announcement ends speculation about his availability for the event.
The injury happened on October 3, when Bandido defended his title against Hechicero at a CMLL show. During the match, his shoulder dislocated. Bandido quickly popped it back into place himself and pushed through to finish the contest.
Khan addressed the situation on X after Brody King expressed hope that their scheduled match would go ahead. In his response, Khan assured fans that Bandido intends to fight through the pain and appear on the show.
Mr Bandido, you better tape your shoulder back together we got work to do. https://t.co/uqXOguZlqj
