Update on Bryan Danielson’s AEW Status During Hiatus – Bryan Danielson’s wrestling future remains uncertain as he deals with a serious neck injury. The former AEW World Champion, who lost the title to Jon Moxley at Wrestle Dynasty, has been undergoing stem cell therapy to avoid surgery.
According to PWInsider, Danielson was backstage at this week’s AEW Dynamite. Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp further reported on Dynamite’s post-show that Danielson has remained active in AEW’s creative process during his absence from television. He has attended multiple AEW events despite not competing in the ring.
Sapp revealed that he recently interviewed Danielson during the All In ticketing event in Dallas. While the interview has not been released yet, Danielson confirmed that he is still working with AEW and expects to be involved with All In later this year, though his role remains unclear.
“There were a lot of people in the Fightful Select Discord asking me about Danielson being backstage. I have an interview with Danielson that I haven’t released yet because there hasn’t been a need to; there’s nothing timely about it. It was in Dallas at the All In ticketing event. We had some filming issues, but I’ve recovered it and will probably release it Revolution week.
He told me he’s around a bit, that he’s still working with AEW, and that he’ll be at All In. He just doesn’t know in what capacity. But this isn’t out of the ordinary for him to be backstage. I don’t think he’s going to be there all the time, but he is still working with AEW, I believe in a creative capacity. So, every so often, you’re going to get those types of reports, which I think at this stage we’re not going to write a whole new article on.
Like tonight, I don’t know if he was there or not, but he’s been there quite a few times since he left. I don’t know if he’s going through rehab on his neck, or if he had surgery, or whatever it may be. I know he wanted to rehab it, but this is just something that’s kind of common for him at this stage. It’s not out of the ordinary for him to be backstage.”
Though Danielson’s in-ring status is still up in the air, his presence at AEW events indicates he remains closely involved with the company behind the scenes. Fans will be watching closely as he continues his recovery.
