Bryan Danielson Makes Surprise Appearance at Indie Event – AEW star Bryan Danielson made a rare public appearance on Saturday, May 24, 2025, at the independent wrestling event ACTION DEAN~!!!2. The appearance surprised fans in attendance, as Danielson entered the ring and shared an emotional hug with lucha libre legend Blue Panther, creating a standout moment during the show.
This marked Danielson’s first public involvement at a live wrestling event since his last AEW in-ring appearance at WrestleDream in October 2024. At that event, Danielson competed in the main event against Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship, ultimately coming up short in a hard-fought match.
Since then, Danielson has remained absent from AEW programming as an active wrestler, fueling speculation about the future of his in-ring career. Behind the scenes, he continues to contribute to AEW in a creative and advisory capacity, but his return to competition remains uncertain.
Reports indicate that Danielson is still dealing with serious neck issues and has yet to undergo surgery. While no official retirement announcement has been made, concerns about his health have cast doubt on whether he will be medically cleared to wrestle again.
Fans and peers continue to hope for another match from “The American Dragon,” but as of now, Danielson’s appearance at ACTION DEAN~!!!2 seems to be a show of support for the independent scene and a nod of respect to Blue Panther, rather than a sign of an imminent return to action.
