The wrestling world was left stunned last week when Christopher Daniels, a founding member of All Elite Wrestling (AEW), was seemingly fired on live television. The 54-year-old veteran’s departure came after a heated confrontation with AEW Executive Vice Presidents, The Young Bucks, on Dynamite. As Daniels navigates the aftermath of his “termination,” speculation is rife about what’s next for the indie legend.
One possible direction could be Daniels aligning himself with fellow EVP, Kenny Omega, to take down The Young Bucks and The Elite. With Omega’s history of disputes with the heel faction, a partnership could be the perfect way for Daniels to regain his footing in the company. Alternatively, a more surprising turn could see Daniels join The Elite, leveraging his experience playing the heel role to perfection in his previous stints with TNA and ROH.
Another option could see Daniels going back to his roots, returning to TNA (now known as Impact Wrestling) where he was a legend and a former X-Division Champion. His former SCU teammate, Kazarian, is already making waves in the promotion, paving the way for a potential partnership or feud.
A less likely, but still intriguing, possibility is Daniels making a second attempt at success in WWE. Despite being relegated to minor shows during his previous stint in the early 2000s, the veteran might be inspired by the success of former TNA stars like AJ Styles, Drew McIntyre, and Cody Rhodes. A mentorship role in NXT could be a fitting way for Daniels to contribute to the next generation of wrestlers.
Ultimately, Christopher Daniels’ next move remains uncertain, but one thing is clear – the wrestling world is eager to see what the Fallen Angel has in store for us next. Will he seek revenge on The Young Bucks, find a new home in TNA, or take on a new challenge in WWE? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – Daniels’ storied career is far from over.
