Bryan Danielson explains why WrestleMania 30 wasn’t his favorite moment of his career

Bryan Danielson is undoubtedly one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. He is a former AEW World Champion, but he is best known for his time in WWE. His ring name in the Stamford-based company was Daniel Bryan.

Danielson had several amazing moments in World Wrestling Entertainment. However, his WWE World Heavyweight Championship victory at WrestleMania 30 has a different fan base. Many believe that it is the biggest moment of his career. However, in a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, he revealed that his favorite career moment took place in AEW.

The GOAT won the AEW World Championship by defeating Swerve Strickland in the main event of AEW All In 2024. The semi-retired star named this his favorite moment because his family was present and witnessed him win the prestigious title.

"A couple of months before my last match, they (his wife and kids) got to be at Wembley at All In. That was by far my favourite moment of my career, just because my kids are old enough to remember it. Well, at least my daughter will. We don't know. I don't know about my son, but my daughter still talks about it," he said.

Bryan Danielson on moving to commentary

Bryan Danielson is now a commentator for AEW. He has been in this role for the past few months, and in the interview above, he discussed his experience. He said that he was not anticipating being on the commentator's desk.

"It’s been interesting because I wasn’t anticipating being a commentator. So I was at home, and then they asked me to come in because Taz was getting shoulder surgery, and to come and help out a little bit. But traveling has been difficult for me. That’s one of the things I didn’t expect, because I’ve traveled my entire adult life. It’s no big deal," Bryan Danielson said.

Hopefully, the 44-year-old will eventually return to professional wrestling someday. Only time will tell what the future holds for him.
