Bryan Danielson has a very Bryan Danielson reason for not watching John Cena's retirement run.
The former AEW Champion spoke to Justin Barrasso for a new interview. He talked about things such as his wrestling status after ending his full-time run, his current health, and more.
During the talk, the wrestling veteran was also asked about the upcoming retirement of his former rival. Danielson revealed that he hasn't watched any of Cena's retirement run because of his latest experiment:
“I honestly haven’t watched. I’m entering this experimental phase of my life where I’m experiencing less input from media. When I went to visit my mother recently, I made a 13-hour drive. I didn’t listen to any music; I didn’t listen to any podcasts. There was nothing but silence."
I'm Not Watching: Bryan Danielson
John Cena and Bryan Danielson shared the ring many times during their careers, including the forgotten 2003 WWE Velocity match. Their most famous encounter came at SummerSlam 2013, where The Cenation Leader put Bryan over clean on his way to the WrestleMania 30 main event.
The former WWE star noted that his experiment means a reduced wrestling input, but he still wishes the best to the 17-time world champion in his final year as active performer:
“As I experiment with less input, that also means less wrestling input. So I haven’t seen any of John Cena’s final run. I’m not watching, but I hope it goes really well for John. That guy deserves the last year of his career to be awesome.”
John Cena will be facing Gunther in his retirement match at the upcoming December 13 Saturday Night's Main Event. You can check out what Cena had to say about some of his old rivals before his final match here.
