Bryan Danielson Says He Will Probably Have Neck Surgery Before End Of Year

Bryan Danielson says he expects to undergo neck surgery by the end of this year. The AEW star, who is putting his in-ring career on the line against Swerve Strickland at All In, spoke with Jim Ross in an interview that aired on last night’s episode of Collision and said during the conversation that he is likely to go under the knife before 2024 is up.

“I mean, the odds are I’m gonna have to get neck surgery before the end of this year,” Danielson said (per Fightful). “That’s the reality of it. That’s something that I’ve accepted is coming down the pike relatively soon.”

After 25 years in the business, Bryan Danielson feels he's as mentally strong as he's ever been! But can his body handle the ultimate CHALLENGE that is the #AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland at #AEWALLIN!?
