In a shocking revelation, Bryan Danielson, also known as The American Dragon, recently announced that his AEW contract would be expiring just before All In 2024, sending ripples throughout the wrestling world. Danielson, a veteran wrestler, expressed his desire to perform at the pay-per-view event and hinted that he’d like to have his last match as a full-time performer at WrestleDream in October. The news has sparked a flurry of reactions, with Ricky Starks being one of the first to respond to Danielson’s announcement.
Starks, who has had memorable matches with Danielson in the past, took to social media to share a clip of The American Dragon praising him and expressing his desire to share a ring with him. The clip, which has gone viral, has added fuel to the fire, sparking speculation about a potential rematch between the two wrestlers.
Their past encounters in September 2023 saw Danielson emerge victorious, but fans are eager to see them face off once again. The prospect of a rematch is particularly enticing, given the high-stakes nature of Danielson’s impending contract expiration.
In a separate interview, Danielson made headlines for his “controversial” statement about Kenny Omega, his former AEW rival, who is currently sidelined due to injuries. When asked about the greatest Canadian wrestler of all time, Danielson chose Omega over the legendary Bret Hart, sparking debate among fans.
The prospect of a Danielson-Omega rematch is also on the minds of fans, following their epic 30-minute time-limit draw at Grand Slam 2021. With Danielson’s contract expiration looming, the clock is ticking for these dream matches to become a reality. Will Danielson and Starks or Omega step into the ring together one last time before The American Dragon hangs up his boots? Only time will tell.
