Fightful Select reported on Friday that Jake Doyle, the former Jake Something, is recovering after undergoing surgery for a biceps injury suffered during a match that took place last month.
“Jake Something had successful surgery to repair his injury this week,” they wrote.
On the January 28 edition of Dynamite, Doyle and Mark Davis were wrestling FTR when Doyle took a DDT from Cash Wheeler on the apron. Doyle held onto the top rope while landing on his head, possibly causing the injury. Doyle immediately yelled out loud that he had torn his bicep, with Bryan Alvarez later confirming the injury. Davis and Doyle went on to finish the match, losing to FTR who retained the AEW Tag Team titles.
Doyle joined AEW at the start of the year after his TNA contract expired. He was immediately put in a tag team with Mark Davis as the newest member of the ever-expanding Don Callis Family. They won a number one contender’s match in their debut as a team and defeated Alec Price and Jordan Oliver shortly before their tag team title match.
Jake Doyle sustained a torn biceps injury on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite during his World Tag Team Championship bout.
Midway through the match, Doyle took an apron DDT from Cash Wheeler. Although the exact moment isn’t fully confirmed, the injury appeared to happen when Doyle held onto the top rope while landing on the apron with the added pressure seemingly tearing his biceps.
Doyle was also heard calling out the injury and it was later confirmed by our Bryan Alvarez. No official statement has been shared on the injury.
The match saw Davis and Doyle unsuccessfully challenge facing FTR for the titles. It was Doyle’s third match in AEW in his second run.
The 36-year-old Doyle, previously known as Jake Something, recently signed with AEW after several years in TNA.
Shortly after his debut, he found himself a part of the Don Callis Family in a tag team with Davis.

AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR now have their next title challengers confirmed after Wednesday’s Maximum Carnage edition of Dynamite.
Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler will defend against the new Don Callis-led team of Jake Doyle & Mark Davis who won a four-way title eliminator to earn the shot.
The end came when Davis hit a pull-up piledriver on Kevin Knight for the pin. That was after Doyle countered a Mike Bailey hurricanrana attempt by blocking it and throwing Bailey over the top rope onto both the Young Bucks and the Gates of Agony on the floor.
After the match, Doyle and Davis were confronted by Harwood and Wheeler in the ring and had to be pulled apart. A date was not announced for when the match will take place.
Doyle, the former Jake Something, made his Dynamite debut last week after signing with the company. Davis will be looking for his first AEW title of any kind while he is a former ROH Tag Team Champion.
FTR is in their third run with the titles after defeating Bandido at last November’s Full Gear. They have two successful title defenses since then, both against the Bang Bang Gang.
A fight has broken out between AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR and their next challengers, Davis and Doyle!
Tony Khan has announced another match for AEW’s Dynamite Maximum Carnage this Wednesday, and this one will name new contenders for the World Tag Team Championship.
Khan announced a four-way tag match on social media: The Young Bucks vs. GOA vs. JetSpeed vs. Davis & Doyle of the Don Callis family.
The Bucks have won four straight matches, though all have been trios matches: two teaming with Josh Alexander, one with Kenny Omega, and one with Jack Perry.
The Gates of Agony are coming off a win on Collision last weekend, teaming with Ricochet to beat JetSpeed and Anthony Bowens. They had lost three straight matches before that, though each was a trios or eight-man tag. Their last tag team match was a win over the Hurt Syndicate in October.
JetSpeed have not had many tag team matches in AEW recently as both Speedball Bailey and Kevin Knight were wrestling as singles in the Continental Classic tournament. They did pick up a win over Big Bill & Bryan Keith on Collision on January 3.
This will be the first match for Marc Davis and Jake Doyle as a tag team, and the first AEW match for Doyle, formerly known as Jake Something.
The lineup for this Wednesday’s Collision:
AEW Dynamite Maximum Carnage (January 14)
AEW World title: MJF defends against Bandido
The Babes of Wrath & Kris Statlander vs. Triangle of Madness
Four-way match, winner gets future AEW Tag Team title match: The Young Bucks vs. GOA vs. JetSpeed vs. Mark Davis & Jake Doyle
Jake Doyle — the former Jake Something — is officially All Elite after making an appearance during a pre-AEW Dynamite angle on social media leading into the show.
In the clip seen below that was also aired on Dynamite, Renee Paquette was backstage and reported that JetSpeed had been taken out ahead of tonight’s trios match, speculating it was due to The Demand’s bounty on them.
Ricochet, the Gates of Agony and Don Callis then appeared with the AEW National Champion saying all he did was say if anyone was to take out JetSpeed, they would get a lump sum of money. Callis said someone or something just got very rich from taking them out.
Callis then brought in Doyle and Mark Davis and said they were going to kill some people, indicating they are a new team in AEW. Later in the show, the two took part in an attack on the Young Bucks and Jack Perry after their match with The Demand.
Doyle/Something’s contract with TNA Wrestling expired at year’s end. The 36-year-old has actually wrestled in AEW before, appearing three times on AEW Dark in May/June 2022, losing to Jay Lethal, Danhausen and Matt Sydal.
