Christopher Daniels has seemingly confirmed his retirement after his brutal match on this past week’s episode of AEW Collision.
The Fallen Angle wrestled longtime friend Hangman Page in a Texas Death match at the January 18th episode of the Saturday Night show. Page picked up the victory in this bout which was reported to be the last match of Daniels’ career.
The former SCU member seemingly confirmed reports of his retirement on this week’s Dynamite. Christopher Daniels came out to confront Hangman after his victory over a local performer. In an emotional promo, the former ROH Champion confirmed that he’s wrestled his last match ever:
“After that Texas Death match, that last Buckshot lariat, adding to all the damage I’ve done to my neck over the years, my doctors have advised me to never wrestle again. So I’m here face to face to tell you, you win. You’ve won the last match that I’ll ever wrestle. I’m sorry, and I hope you can be happy now.”
