Bryan Danielson Provides Update on Potential Future In-Ring Return

Bryan Danielson has been retried from his full-time in-ring wrestling career since his loss to Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship at AEW’s WrestleDream 2024 event in October of 2024. Danielson has made several in-ring appearance but has not wrestled since then.

The Undisputed’s Justin Barrasso held a recent interview with Danielson. One of the topics discussed included Danielson’s thoughts about how he was having “delusions” of wrestling a couple of times per year before starting his commentary job in AEW.

“The traveling is so hard on my neck. Once I started traveling again, I went back to sleeping four-and-a-half hours a night. There was a point around Forbidden Door [last August] that I had delusions of wrestling a couple matches a year. After traveling for commentary, I don’t see how it would be possible. And that’s without bumps.”

Danielson also gave his thoughts about how Adam Copeland recommended him to see his own physical therapist to help deal with the neck pain he was dealing with at the time that was causing him sleeping troubles and how that became a “game changer” for him.

“In April of 2025, Adam Copeland sent me to his physical therapist. He said the guy was a miracle worker. This guy worked on me for two days in a row, six hours each day.

After the first night, I slept nine hours straight. After the second night, I slept eight hours straight. After that, I was sleeping seven or eight hours almost every night. That’s a game changer for how you feel.”

Danielson also gave his thoughts about the potential of him making an in-ring return in the future.

“I don’t close it off. Maybe…

The traveling itself is so taxing, so I don’t know. We’ll see.”
