Bryan 'at peace' with Career Countdown
AEW's Bryan Danielson on putting his wrestling career on the line at Wembley Stadium.
AEW Wrestler Bryan Danielson's 25 year career has taken him around the world. In his early days, the American was sent to England to help hone his craft, wrestling in front of 45 people at Butlins Holiday camps. Since then he's wrestled for multiple promotions and won numerous championships but he's made it clear he's on the final countdown and this Sunday (25th August) it could officially come to an end in the UK.
After attracting the largest paid crowd in wrestling history last year for All In: London, All Elite Wrestling is returning to Wembley Stadium for the second edition. The American missed the 2023 show but this year he's wrestling in the main event for the AEW World title, held by Swerve Strickland. If the 43-year-old wins, he'll claim his first championship with the company but Danielson has raised the stakes by agreeing to retire from wrestling, if he loses.
Danielson, who was forced to retire due to injury while with WWE back in 2016 but later made a comeback, spoke to Steve Hermon about how he's at peace with the fact his career could come to an end this weekend. They also spoke about his family and the beginning of his wrestling career in England.
