Bryan Danielson was reportedly unable to fly to Japan for NJPW Power Struggle. 

During Saturday's show from Osaka, Danielson appeared via video and challenged Kazuchika Okada to a match at Wrestle Kingdom. Sports Illustrated is reporting that the original plan was for Danielson to appear live at the event but he was unable to fly due to the broken orbital bone he suffered during his October 21 match against Andrade El Idolo. 

From SI.com:

The original plan for Power Struggle, multiple sources confirmed to Sports Illustrated, is that Danielson was scheduled to issue the challenge in-person to Okada. Yet the injury prevented him from flying to Japan. Given these set of circumstances, an audible was called and the decision was made for Danielson to challenge Okada through a video.

Tony Schiavone confirmed on the November 1 AEW Control Center that Danielson had undergone surgery for the injury and was expected to be out until "later in the year."

Danielson's status for Wrestle Kingdom on January 4 was addressed last week on Wrestling Observer Radio by our own Dave Meltzer.

"It may be touch and go if he had surgery for January 4," Meltzer said. "Hopefully, he can do it. Hopefully, he can finish the next however many months it is. He didn't put a timeline on exactly when next year he's going to be done. In theory, his contract would be over in September. Obviously, Tony could extend it but he's not going to be a dirty guy in this situation if Bryan wants to be finished."
