How Bryan Danielson Lied To WWE And Had To Retire

That’s one way to get around it. WWE is a huge wrestling company with an enormous roster of wrestlers. It is a nice idea to think that the company can keep track of everything about everyone around but that is just not a realistic concept. Something is going to get by them at some point and a former top star is now revealing just how much he got away with while part of the company.

AEW’s Bryan Danielson appeared on Moose and Maggie on WFAN (New York) radio and discussed some of his history of injuries. Danielson revealed that he lied to WWE about his injury status after a concussion and eventually the company found out. As a result, Danielson was forced to retire from the ring, as WWE did not feel safe allowing him to wrestle any longer. Danielson was out of the ring from 2015-2018, when he was medically cleared to return.

Bryan does have quite the history. Check out some of the more important moments in his career:

Opinion: I can’t say I’m overly surprised by this but Danielson is the kind of wrestler who would care more about getting back in the ring than his health, at least from time to time. That being said, it was hardly the wisest move in the world and not something that anyone should be doing. Danielson didn’t even get away with it, and things did not go well for him as a result. At least he is back in the ring now and that is a lot of fun for the fans.

How has Danielson done in AEW so far? Who else do you want to see him face? Let us know in the comments below.
