AEW wrestler Bryan Danielson could be stepping inside the ring for the last time at this Sunday’s AEW All In London. He has revealed what he plans to do next post-retirement.
‘The American Dragon’ will battle Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Championship this Sunday. Ahead of the bout, Danielson raised the stakes as he put his career on the line. Should he lose, he will hang up his boots. Danielson is a family man and also focuses on helping his community. The Washington-born wrestler told Bleacher Report that while he is willing to be involved in the pro wrestling business after his retirement, he also wants to give back to the community.
“One of the things that is very important to me is to participate in my community. A lot of times, when you look globally or nationally, you see problems and it’s very hard to affect change. But within your community, you can do a lot. When we travel so much, I’ve been able to do some things here or there. “
The 43-year-old veteran recalled how he once helped a creek restoration in Washington where, several years ago, no salmon were coming back into that stream. He did some physical work as well as helped with funds. He said:
“One of the things I’m proudest of is I helped a creek restoration in Washington where, several years ago, there were no salmon coming back into that stream. And now there are.I went out there three or four times to help actually do the physical work and help fund some of it. Stuff like that is stuff I’m really interested in.”
Bryan Danielson is also hopeful of getting more involved with his kids’ activities. He said:
“Also, my wife got to coach my son’s tee-ball team last year. She had to go and do something, and I got to step in and be a substitute coach for one tee-ball practice and a game. I had so much fun. So, participating in my kids’ lives, participating in my community, being an active member and helping with things locally. Everywhere you look, there are always things that can be improved upon. I’m trying to participate in that where I can.”
This Sunday could be Bryan Danielson’s last match and if that’s the case it will be the culmination of a legendary career of more than two decades. He will be walking into the sunset as one of the greatest wrestlers to grace the ring, having multiple accolades in the top promotions across the world.
