Bryan Danielson, famously known to WWE fans as Daniel Bryan, is approaching what could be the final chapter of his wrestling career, raising questions about the legacy he will leave behind. As he prepares for a potentially career-ending match, many are reflecting on the impact he has made in the world of professional wrestling.
Nikki Garcia, the sister-in-law of Danielson and a former WWE Superstar herself, has shared her thoughts on what his legacy will be if this indeed marks the end of his in-ring career.
Garcia, whose twin sister Brie is married to Danielson, expressed confidence that he will be remembered as one of the greatest wrestlers in history.
Hailed Danielson
In an interview with TMZ Sports, she discussed her brother-in-law’s upcoming Title Vs. Career match at AEW All In, acknowledging that this could be his last time stepping into the ring.
Garcia didn’t hesitate to highlight Danielson’s influence, labelling him “one of the greatest wrestlers in wrestling history.” When asked who might take up the mantle if Danielson were to retire, she noted that while it’s hard to name just one successor, AEW has a wealth of talent capable of carrying on the torch.
“He truly is one of the most selfless people in the industry,” she said.
“I’ve learned a lot from him in my career. Anyone that he was in a story with, he was always so giving.”
In her own career, Nikki Garcia has been branching out into new ventures. She was recently announced as part of the cast for Season Three of Peacock’s competition series The Traitors.
Garcia mentioned that participating in this show was a completely different experience from anything she’s done before.
“I mean full on,” she noted. “Especially when you’re ‘Survivor’ people or ‘Big Brother.’ I mean, it’s totally a different mindset. Like I’m used to real competition, that’s like totally different kind of [competition].”
