Bryan Danielson joined in on AEW’s celebration of Dynamite’s fifth anniversary, where it was also announced that AEW and Warner Bros. Discovery signed a new multi-year deal.
In the main event, Danielson successfully defended his AEW World Championship against Kazuchika Okada.
After the match, he was involved in a brawl with Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, Jon Moxley, and Wheeler Yuta, with Yuta aiding him.
Next week, Danielson will team with Yuta to challenge Castagnoli and PAC for the Tag Team Titles on Dynamite.
After the show, Danielson addressed the crowd with a heartfelt promo.
Bryan Danielson said, “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.”
Later this month, Danielson will defend the AEW World Championship against Moxley at WrestleDream.
