The world of professional wrestling has been abuzz with rumors surrounding the potential departure of one of All Elite Wrestling’s (AEW) biggest stars, Bryan Danielson. The 42-year-old former AEW World Champion recently revealed that he has limited time left as a full-time wrestler, sparking speculation about his future with the Jacksonville-based promotion. Now, veteran commentator Tony Schiavone has weighed in on the situation, suggesting that the upcoming WrestleDream pay-per-view in October could be a fitting farewell location for the American Dragon.
Schiavone, who has worked with some of the most popular wrestlers in WCW, WWE, ECW, and now AEW, shared his thoughts on the What Happened When podcast. The 66-year-old veteran commentator expressed his admiration for Danielson, calling him one of the greatest in-ring performers of all time. Schiavone’s comments come amidst reports suggesting that Danielson might leave AEW in October, which has sent shockwaves through the wrestling community.
However, Schiavone’s recent comments were overshadowed by a heated exchange with Jack Perry on last week’s edition of AEW Dynamite. Perry, who returned to AEW TV last month, disrespected the veteran commentator during a Young Bucks match on Dynamite. The Scapegoat repeatedly picked on Schiavone, claiming that he didn’t give enough respect to the EVPs of the company. The tension culminated with Jungle Boy pouring Wooooo! Energy Drink on Schiavone’s head, leaving many fans wondering if this was a one-off incident or a sign of more drama to come.
Meanwhile, the road to Double or Nothing continues, with Perry set to team up with The Young Bucks (Nicholas and Matthew Jackson) and Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada to take on Team AEW (Bryan Danielson, Cash Wheeler, Dax Harwood, and Darby Allin) in the Anarchy in The Arena Match. The action is set to unfold at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Paradise, Nevada, on May 26.
As the wrestling world waits with bated breath to see how the Anarchy in The Arena Match unfolds, all eyes will be on Bryan Danielson’s future with AEW. Will he ride off into the sunset after WrestleDream, or will he continue to thrill fans with his in-ring prowess? One thing is certain – the drama surrounding Danielson’s potential departure has added an extra layer of intrigue to an already-stacked Double or Nothing card.
