On this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Christopher Daniels officially confirmed that he’s retired from in-ring competition.
During last week’s episode of AEW Collision, Daniels faced off against Hangman Page in a Texas Death match. It was later reported that this would be his retirement match.
On this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite, Page defeated an enhancement talent. Following the bout, Daniels came out to confront Page.
Daniels went on to tell Page that doctors have advised him not to wrestle again. Daniels added that he hopes Page is happy.
Taking to Twitter after the show, Daniels revealed that he’s “sad that it’s over but so very happy that it happened.”
