Wheeler Yuta had a lot of emotional turmoil heading into AEW WrestleDream this week, since he was clearly behind Bryan Danielson as The American Dragon faced off against Jon Moxley. Danielson lost the match and shockingly enough, Yuta ended up suffocating Danielson and now footage has shown Yuta getting cussed out and flipped off by fans after the show.
AEW WrestleDream 2024 was a night full of exciting action and memorable moments. In the main event, Bryan Danielson defended his AEW World Championship against Jon Moxley in a highly anticipated match. Moxley won the match by making Danielson submit, becoming the new champion.
After the match ended, Moxley was joined by Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, and Marina Shafir in the ring. Moxley put the AEW Championship in a bag and pulled out a plastic bag, signaling they were about to suffocate Danielson. Just as they were about to do it, Darby Allin ran to the ring with a chair to stop them with Wheeler Yuta in tow. However, Wheeler Yuta attacked Allin and tied him to the ropes, forcing him to watch as Yuta put the bag over Danielson’s head and suffocated him. The show ended with Danielson being stretchered out as fans in attendance were utterly shocked.
As seen by footage making rounds online, Wheeler Yuta was making his way through the crowd with Claudi Castagnoli. It was clear as day that fans absolutely hated Yuta and proceeded to cuss him out and flip him off, as he made his way to the back. It was also evident that he and Castagnoli weren’t exactly on the same page.
We have also reported that Bryan Danielson is expected to undergo neck surgery following AEW WrestleDream and his full-time in-ring career has officially come to an end. Therefore, we’ll have to see when Danielson will come back, as it’s apparent he will be going after Wheeler Yuta, someone he thought he could trust.
