Bryan Danielson is a true veteran in the world of professional wrestling, as he has competed in several promotions over the years and honed his craft before making a name for himself in WWE as well. Danielson made his debut at AEW All Out and shook the pro wrestling world to its core.
After the conclusion of the event, Bryan Danielson cut a promo to the crowd, where he revealed that he made his way to AEW because he simply wanted to wrestle.
It was said that Bryan Danielson received generous offers from both WWE and AEW, which would have allowed him to compete in NJPW. He ultimately chose AEW as he thought it was the best thing for the pro wrestling business.
According to Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE was determined to keep Danielson in the company and this led to Vince McMahon even giving Danielson permission to work the G1 Climax tournament.
It was said that McMahon might not have known what the tournament actually was when he gave Danielson permission to take part in it.
Regardless, Bryan Danielson chose AEW in the end and that is something WWE has to accept.
Bryan Danielson already confronted AEW World Champion Kenny Omega on this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite. From the looks of it, it seems the two will be feuding going forward, much to the delight of fans.
