The American Dragon gained worldwide prominence for his stint in WWE, which lasted for over a decade. He then joined AEW in 2021 and became a cornerstone for the Jacksonville-based promotion as an in-ring competitor. For the next three years, Danielson delivered some of the most captivating showdowns against top stars like Will Ospreay, Kazuchika Okada, and Kenny Omega.

Moreover, he had a big moment in front of a sold-out Wembley Stadium at All In 2024 when he defeated Swerve Strickland to capture the AEW World Championship. However, he dropped the title to Jon Moxley at that year's WrestleDream event, which marked the end of his full-time wrestling career. Recently, Danielson returned to AEW as a commentator in a full-time capacity.

AEW commentator Bryan Danielson makes a worrying revelation

While Bryan Danielson has begun a new role in AEW, he still suffers from pain from all the years spent inside the squared circle. The former WWE Superstar revealed that the long flights hurt his neck, despite not having competed in the ring for a long time.

“Those long flights make it worse—sleeping with your head against the window for six hours. You wake up and it’s like, ‘Oh no.’ I wish a flight attendant could just pop my neck back in place. So yeah, generally my neck feels pretty horrible, but like anything else in life, you just get used to it. You learn to live with it.” [H/T Ringside News]

Despite the pain, Bryan Danielson seems to be fully focused on his commentator role. So it will be interesting to see his tenure with a headset on and calling the action on a weekly basis.
