During the January 28th episode of AEW Dynamite, Jake Doyle, part of The Don Callis Family, sustained a torn bicep injury while competing in an AEW World Tag Team Championship match against the current titleholders FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler). The injury occurred after Doyle took a DDT from Cash Wheeler on the ring apron and was audible telling others, “I just tore my bicep.” This was later confirmed by Wrestling Observer Radio’s Brian Alvarez, who affirmed the severity of Doyle’s injury. At this time, there is no word on how long Doyle will be sidelined.
Jake Doyle, who signed with AEW earlier this month after wrestling under the name Jake Something on the independent circuit and in TNA Wrestling, made a strong debut by teaming with Mark Davis to pursue a bounty set by Don Callis and Ricochet against Jetspeed. WrestleTalk extends its best wishes to Doyle for a swift and full recovery.
Fan Take: This injury is a tough blow for AEW as Jake Doyle has been positioned as an exciting newcomer with potential to shake up the tag team division. Fans should keep an eye on how AEW adapts to this setback, as it could lead to storyline shifts and open opportunities for fresh rivalries in the coming months.
