Bryan Danielson and Will Ospreay faced off in a dream match at AEW Dynasty, All Elite Wrestling’s latest pay-per-view. The match was very well received by the fans. They truly enjoyed the battle between two of the best wrestlers of their generation. At one point, Danielson was given a dangerous Storm Driver 91 that may have damaged his neck. “The American Dragon” was able to finish the match, but he hasn’t competed since.
Danielson revealed that the more he ages, the more his neck hurts. Thus, claiming that he is looking to be a part-time wrestler instead. But while rumors of a WWE return with a part-time contract in mind made his fans excited, Danielson’s recent promo might’ve shattered their hopes a bit.

Bryan Danielson vs. Will Ospreay was considered one of the best matches in recent years. However, during the fight, not everything went perfectly. Danielson received some blows that endangered his health. During his appearance on the TWC Show, Bryan Danielson confirmed that he experienced problems with his neck during the match.
Fortunately, a subsequent MRI confirmed that he did not suffer any serious damage, despite experiencing problems with the c6 and c7 vertebrae, which caused him severe pain. He also mentioned that as he progresses in his career, he feels more and more pain. So while fans would want to see him fight as much as he can, they’ll also want the American Dragon to not take severe risks as he has already won it all.
