Bryan Danielson is set to defend his AEW World Title against Jon Moxley in the main event of AEW WrestleDream.
Danielson has stated that when he loses the AEW World Title, his full-time career as a wrestler will be over.
“The reality is, no matter what happens at WrestleDream, I don’t have much time left,” Danielson said to Justin Barrasso of the Undisputed. “October 4, 1999 was my first-ever wrestling match. In relation to those 25 years, I have a reality short amount of time left. And any match can be your last at any given time. When I was forced to retire due to concussions, I didn’t think my last match was going to be tagging with John Cena against Claudio and TJ Wilson. That ended up being my last match for three years. So any match can be your last match. And whether this is my last match as a full-time wrestler or not, I know that time is coming soon.”
Asked if he's healthy enough to compete, Danielson said, “Is our trainer worried about it? To an extent, yes. Am I worried about it? To an extent, yes. Is my wife concerned about it? Very much so. But there’s been times in my career I’ve been more concerned. My overall health for the long-term is the biggest thing. Right now, everything is fixable. In the short term, it’s all about whether I can perform at the level I want to perform at. I know I can. I’m exactly where I want to be, fighting someone I want to fight–I know the answer is yes.”
Danielson previously revealed that he lost feeling in his legs midway through his match against Kazuchika Okada at AEW Dynamite Fifth Anniversary.
