Bryan Danielson remains a diplomat about his former employer after signing with All Elite Wrestling.

Danielson was among several big-name stars to debut with AEW on Sunday at All Out:

Speaking to reporters after the show, the 40-year-old discussed one of the reasons he left WWE after a very successful run with the promotion, according to Ringside News’ Subhojeet Mukherjee:

“But the final decision, honestly, was just like I started to think about things – WWE was so gracious to me about the offer they made to me. They were going to let me do it. ‘other things on the outside, but, I hate to say that, Vince sometimes – He and I have a great relationship. I love him, I love him. Sometimes he’s overprotective with me. I want to be able to push my limits It’s one of the things that I love about it, it’s like the physical nature of what we’re doing there and being able to push my limits and being able to do it here in a safe way is one of the things that really drew me here. “

Danielson abruptly retired in February 2016 due to medical issues related to multiple concussions suffered during his career. However, WWE announced in March 2018 that several medics had given him permission to return to the ring.

This will inevitably worry fans anytime Danielson wrestles, as the long-term risks of concussions can be significant. The concern is somewhat heightened if he wants to “push [his] limits.”

But this isn’t the first time Danielson has hinted at his internal thoughts on how WWE typically organizes its action in the ring.

The famous promo of The Miz on Talking Smack was somewhat motivated by Danielson’s comment that his former rival “struggles[s] like a coward “and came to represent what he thought was a” soft WWE style “.

Due to his medical history, it seems doubtful that Danielson is grappling with the kind of brutal cases Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley have carried out. However, he could move towards a style similar to the one that helped him gain recognition with Ring of Honor.
