Bryan Danielson Says He’ll Likely Need Neck Surgery – Bryan Danielson has opened up about the serious neck issues he’s been dealing with, revealing that he might need surgery by the end of the year. In a recent interview with Jim Ross, Danielson mentioned that his neck is “trashed,” a condition that has been affecting both his personal and professional life. While speaking to Bleacher Report, he elaborated on the impact of the injury, particularly on his role as a father.
“My neck is trashed. But other than that, I feel good. One of the things that I’m good at is experiencing pain and it not necessarily affecting me much. It doesn’t really affect my mental space. The only thing that it does kind of affect is my parenting because our son is four and wild. He loves jumping on my back and jumping on my neck, and I’m like, ‘Argh, stop!’” Danielson shared.
He continued, “It affects my training and that sort of thing. But other than that, I feel good. The odds are, by the end of the year, I’m probably going to have to get neck surgery or whatever it is. But right now, it feels manageable. And when I get out and wrestle, I feel invincible. So that’s not even a concern.”
Despite his serious condition, Danielson is preparing for a high-stakes match against Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Heavyweight Title at All In this Sunday at Wembley Stadium. The match has a significant stipulation—if Danielson loses, he will be forced to retire from wrestling. This could potentially mark the end of his illustrious in-ring career, as his AEW contract expired earlier this month, and he has previously stated that 2024 would be his final year as a full-time wrestler.
While Danielson’s future in wrestling is uncertain, what’s clear is that his passion for the sport remains as strong as ever. As he heads into what could be one of the most important matches of his career, fans are left wondering what the future holds for “The American Dragon” and how much longer he will be able to compete at the highest level despite his neck issues.
