Bryan Danielson Realizes He Is Getting Hurt After Every Big Match, Does Not Want To Wrestle At The Expense Of His Long-Term Health

Bryan Danielson realizes he is getting hurt after every big match, and that is a sign that his career is almost ever.

On the AEW Collision prior to AEW All Out, many fans were unsure who would step up to defend Ricky Steamboat against Ricky Starks, with the previous answer obviously being CM Punk. However, Bryan Danielson would answer the call, returning a month ahead of schedule from a broken arm. Danielson would go on to win this match.

On last Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, Bryan would note that he will be retiring once his daughter turns seven in the next year.

In a new interview with Sports Illustrated, Danielson noted that he has been getting hurt after every big match and that he does not want to wrestle at the expense of his long-term health.

“There is the realization that over the past year, I’m getting hurt after every big match I have. That’s a sign. I love wrestling, but I do not want to wrestle at the expense of my long-term health.”
