Bryan Danielson gets a full-time role at..

Back when he was WWE’s Daniel Bryan and injuries forced him to retire in 2016, working commentary and serving in non-wrestling roles on pro wrestling shows was hard for Bryan Danielson. He felt he had more to show us in the squared circle, and eventually made his way back so he could do just that.

When Danielson retired as a full-time in-ring performer last year, it was his choice. It was still a health-related move, but one made this time because his priority is now his life outside the ring — especially his children.

It will be interesting to see if doing commentary is easier for Bryan now. He must have enjoyed his recent experiences helping call shows like last month’s Forbidden Door PPV, because he’s joining the Dynamite announce team starting next Wednesday (Sept. 10).

Word came from his boss, along with hype for Collision tonight (Sept. 6):
