Pro wrestling veteran Bryan Danielson’s most recent match took place about a year ago, where he competed in an 8-second dark match decisive win loss to Max Caster. This followed what was believed to be his official final match against Jon Moxley at WrestleDream in 2024. Although Danielson has relinquished matches rapidly in the past—such as an 18-second World Title match to Sheamus at The Grandest Stage of Them All—there is still a belief that he has one final match parted ways with in him.
In the latest edition of Fightful Select Answers Q&A — Sean Ross Sapp floated the idea of that Danielson may be about two years away from his most recent true battle. He expressed confidence that the reigning AEW star could still perform well even in a relaxed state, as wrestling serves as a form of daily rehabilitation for him.
Sapp additionally noted that while Danielson is willing to put others over, it would make sense for him to give someone else the opportunity to shine on a larger stage rather than during a Collision pre-premium live event. Notably, he emphasized that Danielson needs to be responsible. Avoid taking unnecessary risks — given his history of concussions that led to his initial retirement in 2016, prior to his AEW career.
If Danielson chooses to compete in one final battle, there are certainly many worthy opponents in the AEW locker room.
