Bryan Danielson joined AEW’s celebration of Dynamite’s fifth anniversary and the news that the company and Warner Bros. Discovery had reached a new multi-year deal on Wednesday night.
The main event of Wednesday’s Dynamite saw Danielson successfully defend his AEW World Championship against Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada. He brawled with Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, and Jon Moxley following the match, with the assistance of Wheeler Yuta.
He will team up with Yuta to challenge Castagnoli and PAC for the Tag Team Championships next week on Dynamite. Danielson cut a promo to the fans following the show.
Bryan Danielson stated, “First of all, I’d like to thank Tony Khan. Without whom, AEW wouldn’t be here. You wouldn’t have an alternative. It is better that AEW exists for the wrestlers, for the production people, and for professional wrestling fans. I first wrestled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 23 years ago, and I don’t know if you guys remember, but you were the crowd that made me into a WrestleMania main eventer. So I just wanted to say thank you Pittsburgh. And last but certainly not least, I wanna thank all the men and women in the back because they’re the ones who made this place so great that I had a lifetime job at WWE, and I chose to come here because there were the best wrestlers in the world. The best fans in the world. And this is the best wrestling company in the world. Now, next week, check out WrestleDream because at WrestleDream in Tacoma, Washington, I am gonna kick Jon Moxley’s f*cking head in.”
Danielson will defend his AEW World Championship against Moxley later this month at WrestleDream.
