AEW’s Christopher Daniels appeared on “Insight with Chris Van Vliet” this week to talk about his eye injury, traveling with AEW, and how he feels about Frankie Kazarian as a singles talent.
Daniels giving us an update on his eye injury he suffered last March against The Young Bucks::
“It’s still pretty much the same, but it’s alright. It’s a flesh wound as they would say in Monty Python,” he said.
“It’s more cosmetic now than anything. I’ve been checked up and my vision is fine, it’s just gnarly looking. When I talked to the doctor, he said it can happen on occasion where hemorrhages don’t heal or drain, but it has nothing to do with the iris itself, it’s just the white of the eye that is discolored.”
“It could dry up in a week or it could take a while. I’ve had hemorrhages before, but for some reason this one is just sticking.”
Daniels said he is still on the road every week for AEW:
“I travel every week,” he shared.
“There is a lot of behind the scenes stuff that happens, whether it’s coaching or talent relations stuff. But yeah, I’m on the road every week, and if I have indie bookings on the weekend, that’s where I go.”
On Daniels and Kazarian working as singles now:
“It was a calculated risk to make that offer,” Daniels said.
“At the same time, there were a variety of tag teams in the company. I felt like there was an opportunity for us both to do some stuff as singles.”
“I would love to team with Frankie again, but if singles is the way to go, we were both accomplished singles before SCU. I know Frankie can go. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to do the same.”
