Bryan Danielson Reveals Major Title Match In WWE That Made Him Feel Nothing

Bryan Danielson is currently part of the AEW roster but during his time in WWE he was able to capture and challenge for the biggest titles in the company. The American Dragon also had his fair share of WrestleMania moments, and at WrestleMania 37 he faced off against Roman Reigns and Edge in a triple threat match for the Universal Championship.

Ultimately Roman Reigns retained the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 37, and he still holds the belt to this day. During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Bryan Danielson admitted that he felt nothing during the WrestleMania main event, but he was much more enthused when he challenged Roman for the belt in a singles match weeks after Mania.

“It didn’t mean anything to me. I felt nothing. You have to remember—it was our first time back in front of a live crowd [since the start of the pandemic], and we were in front of thousands of people. I felt nothing during that match. I was trying my best, but it felt like I was going through the motions. Then I wrestled Roman in the ThunderDome in front of all these screens, and I loved that match. It was the perfect way for me to end my WWE career. Putting together the [WrestleMania] match, I could feel a little bit of my apathy. Something was wrong. It was very glaring to me.”

Bryan Danielson recently challenged MJF for the AEW World Championship at the Revolution pay-per-view in an Iron Man match that went to sudden death. MJF ended up retaining the title and it’s not clear where Bryan will go from here. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
