In a bizarre and surprising turn of events, former WWE World Champion Bryan Danielson was seen deliberately asking his ally, Eddie Kingston, to physically harm him after the latest edition of AEW Dynamite went off the air. A fan-recorded video of the incident has since gone viral, leaving fans stunned and scratching their heads.
The incident occurred after the Anarchy in the Arena Match between Team AEW and The Elite was announced for the upcoming Double or Nothing pay-per-view event. The tense face-off between the two teams eventually escalated into a brawl, prompting backstage officials to step in and separate them.
Once the cameras stopped rolling, Danielson, along with his teammates FTR and Kingston, stayed in the ring to interact with the enthusiastic crowd in Edmonton. It was during this time that Danielson, seemingly out of nowhere, removed his shirt and asked Kingston to chop him. The American Dragon even referred to himself as a “Sicko” for engaging in such an unusual and uncomfortable request.
While it’s unclear what inspired Danielson to make such a request, it’s worth noting that the former WWE World Champion has built a reputation for being one of the most resilient and unorthodox performers in the wrestling world.
Meanwhile, Danielson’s recent match against Will Ospreay at AEW Dynasty 2024 received widespread acclaim, with many praising the exceptional performances of both competitors. The Hall of Famer’s wife, Brie Bella, even weighed in on the match, praising the two superstars for their impressive display.
As Danielson gears up for the Anarchy in the Arena Match at Double or Nothing, the question on everyone’s mind is whether he deserves an AEW World Title shot. With his unorthodox antics and impressive in-ring performances, it’s hard to argue against him being a top contender for the championship.
One thing is for certain, however – Bryan Danielson continues to defy expectations and push the boundaries of what’s considered normal in professional wrestling. Love him or hate him, the American Dragon is undoubtedly one of the most intriguing figures in the sport today.
