Bryan Danielson continues to make waves, appearing in a surprise post-show segment for the second consecutive week, despite still not being officially cleared to compete.
Following the conclusion of the AEW Dynamite and Collision tapings on June 25 in Kent, Washington, the crowd was treated to an unexpected moment. During a post-show segment, Max Caster interrupted Kyle O’Reilly and threw out an open challenge. That invitation was swiftly answered by the unmistakable entrance music of Bryan Danielson, sparking a huge reaction from the live audience.
As Danielson entered the ring, any potential one-on-one confrontation with Caster was cut short when Adam Cole stormed in and hit Caster with a sudden superkick. Seizing the moment, Danielson applied the LeBell Lock, forcing an immediate tap-out from Caster in front of an elated crowd.
Following the brief in-ring moment, Danielson addressed the fans on the mic, sending them home on a high note.

This marks Danielson’s second physical interaction since his neck injury at WrestleDream 2024, where he lost the AEW World Championship. Just last week, he also got involved after Dynamite: Grand Slam Mexico, rushing the ring to save lucha libre icon Blue Panther in another unscheduled appearance.
While still not cleared for official in-ring competition, Danielson’s post-show segments suggest he remains deeply connected to AEW’s live audience—and he clearly isn’t afraid to get physical when the moment calls for it.
