Bryan Danielson enjoyed the small things in 2025.
The wrestling veteran recently made an appearance on the Bella Twins podcast. He talked about things such as his love for penis jokes, Instagram news vs. real-life news, and more.
When asked if he had a 'pop-off' moment in 2025, the former AEW champion discussed how it was the first year after he was done with full-time wrestling. For Danielson, the year was all about spending more time with his family and doing activities with his two kids:
I don’t have any specific moments that were just like, “Oh wow, this" or "Oh wow, that.” It’s just been a very pleasant year. I’m done full-time wrestling and got to be....like I got to coach Buddy’s T-ball team.
I get to be home more with the kids, like regularly doing stuff. I think this happened this year, finally teaching Birdie to ride her bike. So it was because I was able to be home more and physically do it with her. One of my favorite things ever is just riding bikes with her now.
Bryan Danielson ended his full-time wrestling run at the WrestleDream PPV in October last year. Thus 2025 became the first year since his 2018 in-ring return that the former WWE star did not wrestle a serious match.
The 44-year-old has since been given a new role in AEW as part of the Dynamite broadcast team. However, Danielson does not consider himself to be fully retired. You can check out his latest comments about his in-ring status here.
