On the latest episode of Collision, former WWE Champion Bryan Danielson seemingly teased his retirement in the next year or so. Fans were saddened by this and the chance that one of the best in the world would only be competing for one more year.

Last week on Collision, Bryan Danielson returned to AEW for the first time since his match against Kazuchika Okada at Forbidden Door. He then competed the day after against Ricky Starks in a strap match at All Out.

Addressing the crowd this week, Bryan Danielson revealed his next plans. He mentioned that he once promised his daughter that when she turns seven, he would stop competing. He then said that his daughter is now six, so that would mean next year. But he did not want to retire without a bang, and he promised that he would go all out if this would be his last year.

Several fans were saddened by the tease of retirement by The American Dragon. Danielson had to retire back in 2016 when he was in WWE due to injuries but was able to bounce back.

A retirement now would be for good, as this would mean that he had other more important priorities than pro wrestling.

Check out the reactions below:

Others looked back at his career and wanted him to be recognized for it, a possible last title run, and then an eventual Hall of Fame induction.

Another fan also commended him for putting family first.

Another fan had a cheekily optimistic response, saying how this could be a ruse, and just like WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes, never say never to the possibilities.


Former WWE Superstar Bryan Danielson reveals his next opponent

AEW's next major pay-per-view event will be WrestleDream, which will take place in Seattle on October 1 and will feature AEW and NJPW stars.

Tonight, during his promo, Bryan Danielson announced his first course of action in his potential last year of wrestling. He would wrestle NJPW World TV Champion Zack Sabre Jr. at the AEW WrestleDream pay-per-view.

Tony Khan has already made this match official, and was the first match announced for the first time-event.

The time has come, and another decade-long career may be coming to an end sooner than expected. This would be Danielson's second retirement, but he would end up having competed for two top promotions, WWE and AEW.
