Bryan Danielson: I Had A Lifetime Job At WWE, But I Chose To Come To AEW Because They Have The Best Wrestlers

Bryan Danielson joined in on Wednesday night’s celebration as AEW celebrated Dynamite’s fifth anniversary and the announcement that AEW and Warner Bros. Discovery reached a new multi-year agreement.

The main event of Wednesday’s Dynamite was Danielson successfully defending his AEW World Championship against Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada. He brawled with Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, and Jon Moxley after the match with the help of Wheeler Yuta.

He will team with Yuta to challenge Castagnoli and PAC for the Tag Team Titles next week on Dynamite. After the show, Danielson cut a promo to the fans in attendance.

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 be defending the AEW World Championship against Moxley later this month at WrestleDream.
