AEW World Heavyweight Champion Swerve Strickland is set to face Bryan Danielson in a highly anticipated main event at AEW All In on Sunday, August 25. The match, which promises to be a showcase of top-tier wrestling talent, was confirmed after Danielson won the Owen Hart Foundation tournament by defeating Hangman Page in the finals.
This bout will be only the second time Strickland and Danielson have squared off in the ring. Their first encounter took place in October 2023 on Dynamite, where Danielson emerged victorious. As they prepare to clash again, both stars have expressed mutual respect for each other.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Strickland spoke highly of Danielson, acknowledging his legendary status in the wrestling world.
“Bryan’s not just experienced, he’s the greatest of all time,” Strickland said. “That’s who I’m going up against–a first-ballot Hall of Famer. I’ve never faced anyone like him. But he’s never faced anyone like me.”
This match carries extra significance as Danielson’s wrestling contract with AEW is set to expire this week. He has announced plans to retire from full-time wrestling later this year, adding a layer of poignancy to what could be one of his final high-profile matches.
Fans are eagerly awaiting this showdown between two of AEW’s most respected and skilled competitors, with the AEW World Heavyweight Championship on the line. It’s sure to be a memorable encounter at AEW All In!
