Bryan Danielson Gives Another Update On His Poor Neck Health

Bryan Danielson is banged up, but that is not stopping the American Dragon from competing at this Sunday’s AEW All In pay-per-view.

At the marquee event, Danielson will be challenging Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Championship, with his prestigious 25+ year career on the line. In the build up to the match Danielson has noted several times, both on-screen an in interviews, that his neck is in poor condition that will eventually require him to get surgery. He spoke more about this during a recent chat with Bleacher Report.

My neck is trashed. But other than that, I feel good. One of the things that I’m good at is experiencing pain and it not necessarily affecting me much. It doesn’t really affect my mental space The only thing that it does kind of affect is my parenting because our son is four and wild. He loves jumping on my back and jumping on my neck, and I’m like, ‘Argh, stop!

Danielson has dealt with a slew of injuries throughout his career, ones that even forced him to go into early retirement in 2016. However, he was cleared to return to wrestle in 2018, where he managed to get another run as WWE Champion. Since joining AEW in 2021, he has challenged for the world title multiple times, coming up short on each occasion.
