Bryan Danielson has commented on his AEW roles away from the ring, amid uncertainty about Danielson’s in-ring future.
While Danielson has essentially had a year long farewell tour ahead of stepping away from full-time competition, there is a chance that Danielson hangs his boots up altogether after All In London.
Danielson has vowed to retire from wrestling completely if he loses to Swerve Strickland in their AEW World Title match, fuelling speculation about what’s next for Danielson after August 25.
Speaking with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Danielson commented on his roles in AEW creative, and as part of the disciplinary committee.
Noting that he has no idea what his roles in these areas will look like when he’s done wrestling, Danielson said:
“Nobody wants to be part of a disciplinary committee. One, I don’t get paid for it. It’s not even like, ‘At least you’re making all these extra bucks.’ It’s a completely no fun job.
“I’m kind of honored that they wanted me to do it because it shows ‘Bryan is level-headed. He’s going to come at this from a wrestler’s perspective.
“I help Tony with creative, but it’s mostly Tony’s ideas for AEW. He has a brilliant mind for wrestling. I help a little with that. I help a little with the disciplinary committee. What that will look like when I’m done wrestling, I have no idea.
“I’m focusing right now on All In and making that the best it can be. After that, I want to be able to spend some time at home with my family, be involved more in my community. One of the most rewarding things outside of wrestling is we restored this creek.
“It took several years, but now salmon have come back. I participated probably three or four times, this was in Washington State, and I donated money to help fund it. That’s really rewarding. Salmon weren’t coming back to that stream, and now they are. Participating in things like that and seeing meaningful change, that’s kind of my thing.”
