The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion disclosed that the last six months of his full-time AEW run last year were physically hard for him.

Former WWE star reveals he hurt his neck during a great match last year
Former WWE star Bryan Danielson revealed that he hurt his neck badly while wrestling Will Ospreay in a grueling and amazing match at Dynasty 2024. In the same interview with The Daily Star, Danielson admitted that he was ready to hang up his boots after the neck injury.
"I’d hurt my neck pretty bad wrestling Will Ospreay at Dynasty, and that last six months, I wasn’t even sure I could get through it.
