Bryan Danielson Reflects On Photo With Saraya And Adam Copeland, Joked They Don’t Have One Neck Combined
On the October 10 episode of AEW Dynamite, Bryan Danielson, Saraya, and Adam Copeland all competed in singles matches.
At one point in their respective careers, all three were forced to retire due to neck injuries, and all three have since returned and been active for over a year, achieving various accomplishments since their returns to the ring.
Before AEW Dynamite, the three took a photo to celebrate their paths back to the ring after being forced in retirement due to injury.
Speaking on Sports Nightly, Danielson reflected on the moment.
“It was just a cool realization because all three of us had matches on Tuesday and we were all kind of in the ring before the show, warming up and that sort of thing and there was just this realization, I think it was Saraya who had it first was, ‘Hey, we’re all in the ring together and we’ve all got matches tonight. This is surreal because we were all told at different points that we’d never wrestle again.’ I did say that between the three of us, you combine the three of our necks together and I don’t think you even have one complete neck,” Danielson joked. “It is cool and it also is a testament to the advancement of medical technologies but also, all three of us, we were told we shouldn’t do this anymore and we kept fighting through, right? One thing feeds off another. When you hear somebody else has been able to come back, well then you think like, ‘Okay, maybe I can come back,’ and that sort of thing, and those sort of reinforcing stories help us all.”
Danielson defeated Swerve Strickland while Copeland defeated Luchasaurus on the October 10 episode of AEW Dynamite. Saraya did not find success, losing the AEW Women’s Title to Hikaru Shida.
