WWE is one of the biggest pro wrestling promotions of all time. Not everyone is able to perform on such a big stage. However, Bryan Danielson rose from the indies and made his name on the big stage, although, after spending a long time at WWE, he would move on to AEW.
Performing on such a big stage requires a lot of physical and mental stamina. And as per Danielson, he once almost fell victim to his mental struggles, and missed out on a very important event.
The former WWE champion is married to Brie Bella aka Brie Garcia. The couple has children together and has been with each other from their days in WWE. However, speaking on a podcast, the wrestler revealed how he underwent a phase of depression while he was retired.

Danielson made the switch from WWE to AEW a couple of years ago because of his desire for a lighter schedule. On the podcast, he revealed his fight with his inner demons, and how he almost missed out on Brie Bella’s retirement during that time.
What did Bryan Danielson reveal about his mental health struggle?
Struggling with mental health is one of the most fearsome things a person can go through. It is equally bad as physical health struggles, but tends to wear down a person even more.
Speaking on the same terms, Danielson revealed, “Brie ended up coming back and doing more wrestling, but what we thought was going to be her last match, I’d gone off the rails. “
He further claimed that he could not be there for her because of a bad episode he had, post which he started suffering from guilt. The 41-year-old said, “Then there’s the everyday – I don’t want to say everyday guilt, but for example, guilt with the kids, more so, where it’s like I can’t, you know, I play with them, but I’m really just on the floor.”
