Bryan Danielson Admits He Feared AEW Retirement Order

Bryan Danielson has a history of concussions, and he was worried that his latest head injury might actually end his run in AEW. The American Dragon spent a lot of time on the shelf during his time with WWE due to concussion issues, so when it became clear that he'd suffered another one during the Anarchy In The Arena match back in May, it was concerning. Neither Danielson nor AEW confirmed the injury, but the wrestler alluded to it during a promo ahead of the Forbidden Door pay-per-view.

He was finally able to wrestle again on the July 27 edition of Wednesday Night Dynamite, getting pinned by Daniel Garcia following inference from Jake Hager. It was certainly an interesting way to get Danielson back into the mix, and all but guarantees continued hostilities between the Blackpool Combat Club and the Jericho Appreciation Society. The beef between Garcia and Danielson adds yet another layer to an ongoing feud that seems to have no end.

Danielson reconnected with former Talking Smack co-host Renee Paquette at Starcast V and expressed concerns that his latest head trauma might cause AEW to shut him down for good. "It's interesting, this last one." Bryan said that doctors told him that «After you start feeling better, we're going to have to have a serious talk about your long-term health.» Danielson confessed that he was worried that might be the end of the line for him in AEW. «I thought what that meant was, 'After you feel better, I'm going to talk to you about not wrestling anymore.' Then my brain scans came back so godd**n good that not a single person could say anything about it. I do put a lot of work and effort into keeping my brain
