Bryan Danielson has been lucky enough to have a long in-ring career, but it’s no big secret that his career is coming to an end sooner than later. Back at AEW All In, Bryan Danielson defeated Swerve Strickland to win the AEW World Championship. Shortly after Bryan announced that his full-time wrestling career will come to an end when he loses the belt.
Tonight Bryan Danielson is set to defend the AEW World Championship against Jon Moxley at WrestleDream, and he recently told Shawn Garrett of KIRO 7 Seattle that he doesn’t know if he will wrestle again when he eventually loses the championship.
“The idea is, whenever I lose this title, whether it’s some time down the road or against Jon Moxley, that would be it for me as a full-time wrestler. The reality is, right now, I need neck surgery. That’s coming sooner rather than later. There’s going to become a point where this is untenable for me. After the neck surgery, we’ll see where we’re at.
Will I ever wrestle again once I lose the title? I don’t know. My heart says yes because I love wrestling, but I put my body through a lot to get to the success I have. At some point, you have to know when to hold em and know when to fold em.”
