A former WWE star discussed the health issues he faced last year ahead of hanging up his boots. Bryan Danielson is currently retired from full-time competition. His last match took place against Jon Moxley at WrestleDream 2024. He was in great agony weeks ahead of his retirement.Days before facing Moxley, the five-time WWE Champion faced Kazuchika Okada, where the Continental Championship was on the line. The duo had battled in some top-notch battles in NJPW and the Jacksonville-based promotion. However, the American Dragon couldn't give his all in the bout.While speaking with Jon-Bernard Kairouz, Bryan Danielson said that due to his neck issues, his legs have started to give out."I wrestled Okada on TV, and I never get tired when I wrestle ever, right? But because my neck was so bad, my legs started giving out. And it was like, ‘Oh no, what do I do now that my legs aren’t working?’ I just thought, okay, I’ll try to get through this (...) The first 20 minutes, I needed to be pushing him because the Continental Title was only up for grabs for the first 20 minutes, and I needed to be pushing the pace. But I couldn’t, because my legs weren’t working. So yeah, if my body was fully functional, I feel like my mind is as good for wrestling as ever—but my body’s not fully functional," he said.
