Update On Bryan Danielson's AEW Status After Being Backstage At Dynamite

Bryan Danielson was backstage for the February 19 episode of AEW Dynamite, prompting speculation about Danielson’s future in the company.

Since retiring from full-time competition in October 2024, Danielson has only made a handful of appearances for AEW, with backstage visits few and far between.

However, whilst Danielson being backstage seems out of the ordinary, Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp revealed that Danielson is still very much involved in AEW behind the scenes:

“There were a lot of people in the Fightful Select Discord asking me about Danielson being backstage. I have an interview with Danielson that I haven’t released yet because there hasn’t been a need to; there’s nothing timely about it. It was in Dallas at the All In ticketing event. We had some filming issues, but I’ve recovered it and will probably release it Revolution week. He told me he’s around a bit, that he’s still working with AEW, and that he’ll be at All In. He just doesn’t know in what capacity. But this isn’t out of the ordinary for him to be backstage. I don’t think he’s going to be there all the time, but he is still working with AEW, I believe in a creative capacity. So, every so often, you’re going to get those types of reports, which I think at this stage we’re not going to write a whole new article on. Like tonight, I don’t know if he was there or not, but he’s been there quite a few times since he left. I don’t know if he’s going through rehab on his neck, or if he had surgery, or whatever it may be. I know he wanted to rehab it, but this is just something that’s kind of common for him at this stage. It’s not out of the ordinary for him to be backstage,” said Sean Ross Sapp.
