Deadlock Pro Wrestling has announced that Bryan Keith will be relinquishing the DPW National Championship due to an arm injury sustained at AEW Collision this past weekend. The injury consequently prevented Keith from participating in his scheduled match at AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door 2024.
Keith had held the DPW National Championship for a remarkable 323 days.
DPW wrote, “[BREAKING] Bryan Keith has suffered an injury & with no available timetable on his return, Keith will vacate the DPW National Championship. The Bounty Hunter held the belt for 323 days including 5 defenses, a record breaking number in both regards. DPW’s next events are on July 6 & July 7 in Raleigh, North Carolina. Adam Priest is the current top contender for the belt. Further announcements on the status of the DPW National Championship will be made soon. We wish Bryan Keith the best on his road to recovery & hope to see him back in a DPW ring soon!”

As we previously reported here on eWn, Matt Sydal underwent surgery on his right foot last month, following a twelve-year period of persistent pain.
Sydal expressed his gratitude to AEW’s medical team in a Twitter post, in which he also revealed an X-ray of his foot post-operation.
He tweeted, “Thank you to the @AEW Medical Team and Florida Orthopedic for saving my foot! The x-ray below is only a portion of the work that was done. I’d post more pics but they are either too gory or bait for foot creepazoids.”
