Bryan Danielson shares unfortunate health update ahead of AEW DON, doctors say he needs surgery
AEW star Bryan Danielson is set to join FTR and Darby Allin to face Kazuchika Okada, Jack Perry, and The Young Bucks in an Anarchy in the Arena Match at Double or Nothing. Danielson recently provided an update on his health and may be set to undergo surgery after the pay-per-view.
Bryan Danielson is currently in his final run as a full-time performer. The veteran is set to retire at the Full Gear PPV later this year. However, his contract with the company is reportedly set to expire before the All In PPV in August. The American Dragon has had some brutal matches in the Jacksonville-based promotion which has led to him suffering some injuries and now it seems like the veteran may once again miss some time in the squared circle.
In a recent AEW digital exclusive video, Bryan Danielson revealed that he may need to get surgery on his right arm to retain the strength in his arm.
"Bryan Danielson has said that the doctor has told him he needs to get surgery 'pretty soon.' He said he has a shooting pain in his right arm, and that the only way he can hold out is if he can retain strength in his arm, which he still has despite the shooting pain." (H/T - AEW Digital Exclusive)
Bryan Danielson would love to wrestle Nigel McGuinness at AEW All In
ROH legend Nigel McGuinness is one of the best technical wrestlers of all time according to many in the business. The veteran hung up his boots in 2011 and has since become a commentator in professional wrestling. He has worked for WWE's NXT, NXT UK, and the 205 Live brand. He left the promotion to join All Elite Wrestling as one of the lead commentators on AEW Collision.
Speaking on the Casual Conversations with the Classic, Bryan Danielson recently addressed the possibility of competing against Nigel McGuinness at the upcoming All In PPV in August.
"It's interesting because obviously I would love to wrestle Nigel," Danielson said. "I get afraid of fan expectations, of what it would be, because I don't know how many people have actually seen our matches, but it's like they were very physical matches... That's the thing I would be afraid of, is people's expectations of what they think it should be."
Nigel McGuinness and Bryan Danielson have wrestled many times during their time together in Ring of Honor. It will be interesting to see if Nigel decides to have another match in the squared circle.
