[Watch] Bryan Danielson’s move goes horribly wrong; nearly breaking his neck at AEW Dynasty

Multi-time world champion Bryan Danielson put up a great showing in his match against Will Ospreay at AEW Dynasty but it appears to have come at a cost. One spot during the enthralling bout had the fans gasp and look on with worried faces.

The spot took place in the middle of the match as Danielson was looking to give Will Ospreay a hurricanrana. After placing his opponent on the top rope and perched perfectly to execute the move, he appeared to botch the sequence.

After trying to pull off the move, Bryan Danielson fell directly on his neck and the impact was such that it seemed like he had broken his neck. Ospreay, to his credit, landed on his feet and looked unfazed. As soon as the former WWE star landed on the mat, the crowd let out an audible gasp.

Check out the spot below:

The strange thing was that in the immediate aftermath of the botch, the referee did not even try to check on Bryan to see if he was ok. Thankfully, the former WWE Champion got up and finished the match.

Despite getting the win over the former WWE star, Ospreay showed a great amount of respect for his wrestling idol. After the show ended, he took to X/Twitter to reiterate the fact that Danielson was the greatest to ever do it.
