Tony Khan Gives Update on Bryan Danielson After Concerning Dynamite Finish
Bryan Danielson was able to leave this week's Dynamite on his own two feet despite the concerning scenes that ended this week's show.
This week's Dynamite saw the All-Elite promotion continue on the road to next month's Full Gear pay-per-view. That show saw multiple matches announced, including a ROH World Tag Team Championship Handicap match pitting MJF against The Gunns. AEW also announced their newest pay-per-view 'Worlds End' during this week's Dynamite. Ric Flair made his AEW debut on this week's episode and reunited with his friend and former rival Sting during the broadcast.
In the main event of this week's episode of AEW Dynamite, Bryan Danielson & Claudio Castagnoli faced Orange Cassidy and the debuting Kazuchika Okada. While the Blackpool Combat Club scored the win, Dynamite went off the air with Danielson being tended to by AEW's medical crew after taking an orange punch from Orange Cassidy and a rainmaker from Kazuchika Okada.
Taking to social media after the show, Khan said that Danielson was able to walk out on his own power. The AEW President also thanked those who watched the show and those who were in attendance in Philadelphia.
Danielson's full-time career in the ring is set to end next year, the former World Champion confirmed during a September edition of AEW Collison. His decision stems from a promise to his daughter Birdie to step away from the ring full-time when she turns seven next year. While his full-time days as a wrestler are numbered, the belief is that the former World Champion would continue to wrestle for AEW as a special attraction. Danielson joined the promotion in 2021 and is yet to hold AEW championship gold.
