-- Bryan Danielson's full-time in-ring career is over after a loss to Jon Moxley at AEW WrestleDream last weekend. What Danielson's future holds as a wrestler will be determined in the future after he gets an MRI, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, specifically whether he will need to undergo another neck surgery. Dave Meltzer wrote the following:
"As far as what happens with Danielson involves the state of his neck. He is going to have an MRI done to see the damage. He had an MRI done not too long ago and it showed damage all the way down his neck. What happens next depends on if the level of damage is the same as it was or if it has worsened, and if [so], by how much. The hope is that he won’t need surgery and can heal up strong enough with stem cell treatment therapy. But if not, he’ll have to undergo surgery. If or when he can return to the ring depends on how well all of this goes. They and he had always said regarding this match that it would be the end of his full-time career, and not the end of his career."
-- The report added that the original idea was for Danielson to lose the AEW World Title to Darby Allin at WrestleDream, but the company pivoted to Moxley in order to put as much as possible on him and the Blackpool Combat Club as a way to hopefully re-ignite interest in the promotion.
