Tony Khan explains why Bryan Danielson is missing from AEW

Plenty of AEW fans have been wondering what’s going on with AEW commentator Bryan Danielson, who has recently been missing from Dynamite and Collision. During an interview on In The Weeds’ charity live stream, President Tony Khan explained that the American Dragon is hurting and off the road to recover. “Bryan’s beat up, and I’ve been giving him time to rest and recover. I’d love to have Bryan out there all the time, but he’s been home and with his family, and he’s doing very well. But it’s a lot for Bryan being on the road, and a lot of the utility of Bryan stepping away from the ring and resting is him being home with his family and recovering, and trying to be off the road. So I’ve been trying to take the pressure of the road off Bryan. But when he’s able to travel more and be pain free, I think it will be great. I also think even just sitting in the chair and moving his head around in the monitor and stuff, it’s hard. It’s harder than people understand with the injuries he’s had. P
