Rumors are circling about the future of professional wrestling superstar Bryan Danielson in All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Recent reports suggest that Danielson’s contract with AEW is set to expire, casting a shadow of uncertainty over his future with the company.
This news comes on the heels of Danielson’s announcement last year that he plans to retire from active competition in the ring. The 42-year-old wrestling veteran has had a storied career, overcoming a near-career-ending neck injury to make a remarkable comeback in WWE before joining AEW a few years ago.
Since joining AEW, Danielson has been involved in some of the biggest feuds in the company, putting on incredible performances against the likes of Eddie Kingston and Will Ospreay. However, with his contract reportedly set to expire before October 12, wrestling fans are left wondering what’s next for the American Dragon.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Danielson’s contract is set to expire before the reported October 12 date, fueling speculation about his future in AEW. While Danielson has not publicly spoken about his plans, he has hinted at a desire to step back from active competition.
In a recent interview with Casual Conversations, Danielson expressed a desire to have one more match against his old rival Nigel McGuinness, with whom he had a series of physically demanding matches in Ring of Honor (ROH). However, he fears that fans may not be aware of their past bouts, which could impact their expectations.
The possibility of a rematch between Danielson and McGuinness is intriguing, but it remains to be seen whether McGuinness, who is currently retired, would be willing to come out of retirement for one more match. As the wrestling world waits with bated breath, one thing is certain – Bryan Danielson’s future in AEW hangs in the balance, and only time will tell what’s next for the American Dragon.
