A WWE veteran has opened up about Bryan Danielson's wrestling status. Jeff Jarrett has been backing Bryan to win the AEW World Championship at All In.
After capturing the Owen Hart Cup last month, The American Dragon is slated to face AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland at All In. He has been experiencing a neck issue for months but has continued the matches. He has also been told to wrestle less due to the blockbuster match.
Bryan Danielson has also stated that 2024 will be his last year as a full-time star, and the match will be his final shot at the AEW World Championship. Jeff Jarrett recently motivated the latter to go all-in with his efforts to capture the company's top prize.
On the recent edition of Dynamite, the 43-year-old star raised the stakes by putting his career on the line. He declared that if he couldn't pick up a victory at All In, he would never wrestle again.

While speaking on his My World podcast, Jeff Jarrett stated that Danielson is currently in a "tug-of-war" in his mind as he will be retiring from in-ring action and spending time with his family.
“I think he is literally, and I say this is a shoot brother, as they say, but legitimate, he is in a tug-of-war in his brain. I think his wife and I think without saying it, but I think the kids want dad at home much more. I’m trying to encourage him that the obstacle that he may or may not feel because I tread lightly on this. I hope he hears this at some point. But also I do try to encourage him that the obstacle he is feeling right now, the uncomfortableness, the mortality of the peak of his career, that’s actually the way,” the WWE Hall of Famer said.
