Danhausen suffers torn pectoral muscle at AEW Revolution
Danhausen revealed on Twitter Thursday that he suffered a torn right pectoral muscle at AEW Revolution.
The popular wrestler didn’t give any indication as to how long he would be out of action for or whether it was a low-grade or high-grade tear. In either case, the injury will keep him out of action for months.
Danhausen teamed with Orange Cassidy to take on AEW Tag Team Champions The Gunns, Jeff Jarrett & Jay Lethal and The Acclaimed at the pay-per-view earlier this month.
That night, he tweeted the following, indicating he sustained the injury on the 3:10 to Yuma spot that ended the match:

He broke his tibia and fibula in an October 2021 indie match that required him to get surgery and have a rod put into his leg. In January 2022, he made a surprise appearance on AEW Dynamite during a lights out match between Adam Cole and Orange Cassidy. Later that night, it was announced that he signed a contract despite still recovering from his injury.
He made his in-ring debut for the company in a short match in May 2022 against Tony Nese and has wrestled nearly exclusively for AEW since then.
