Bryan Danielson Says He’s Not Cleared to Wrestle

Bryan Danielson has gone quiet since dropping the AEW World Title to Jon Moxley at AEW Wrestle Dynasty, and now we know why—he’s not medically cleared to compete.

Danielson, who hasn’t appeared on AEW television since his emotional title loss, recently popped up in an interview on the Daly Migs Show where he broke his silence about what’s next. While fans were hopeful for a surprise return, Danielson shut those rumors down fast.

“I don’t know, but right now, I’m not cleared to wrestle,” Danielson revealed. “Even if I wanted to, if I said, ‘Hey, I’m going to be there.’ I will be there in Kent. I will be there live in front of the people, but probably not on television. It’ll just be for the people there live.”

Though he won’t be lacing up his boots anytime soon, Danielson is still doing promotional work. Fans familiar with Danielson’s run know he’s been battling neck injuries for quite some time. His match with Moxley was expected to be his final full-time performance, but his status going forward remains uncertain. Whether he’s out temporarily or winding down for good, the AEW crowd will still get a chance to see him live—just not inside the ring.
