AEW star Bryan Danielson recently spoke with Sports Nightly on a number of topics including how he, “The Rated R Superstar” Adam Copeland and AEW Women’s World Champion Saraya were all told at some point that they would never be able to wrestle again, but they overcame the odds and are now all competing in All Elite Wrestling.
Danielson said, “It was just a cool realization because all three of us had matches on Tuesday and we were all kind of in the ring before the show, warming up and that sort of thing and there was just this realization, I think it was Saraya who had it first was, ‘Hey, we’re all in the ring together and we’ve all got matches tonight. This is surreal because we were all told at different points that we’d never wrestle again.’ I did say that between the three of us, you combine the three of our necks together and I don’t think you even have one complete neck,” Danielson joked. It is cool and it also is a testament to the advancement of medical technologies but also, all three of us, we were told we shouldn’t do this anymore and we kept fighting through, right? One thing feeds off another. When you hear somebody else has been able to come back, well then you think like, ‘Okay, maybe I can come back,’ and that sort of thing, and those sort of reinforcing stories help us all.”
