Bryan Danielson Makes massive admisision about AEW career

Bryan Danielson recently admitted that Tony Khan wouldn’t hesitate to fire him if he made this one mistake in AEW.

Bryan Danielson is not just one of the most legendary wrestlers in the sport but is also one of the most respected ones. After bidding adieu to his full-time wrestling career and essentially retiring from the ring, the star has since been in a backstage role in AEW and has performed on commentary occasionally. However, AEW CEO and President, Tony Khan, recently announced that Danielson would become a full-time member of the AEW commentary team and that he would be there beside Taz, Excalibur, and Tony Schiavone.

While doing commentary on the Dynamite this week, the star then made a shocking revelation about his AEW status.

Bryan Danielson Says Tony Khan Will Fire Him If He Gets Into The Action With Any AEW Star

The star stated ahead of the main event on the latest episode of AEW Dynamite that there would be some major repercussions for him if he got into a fight with any star on the roster. The discussion stemmed ahead of Danielson’s former stablemates, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta’s main event on Dynamite, where they teamed up with The Young Bucks to take on The Opps and Brodido.

The issue with all of this is that The Death Riders are the ones responsible for the former WWE star having to retire after he was choked out with a plastic bag following his world title loss. The shocking turn of events at the time saw Danielson being kicked out of the faction and even being betrayed by his former protege and friend, Wheeler Yuta.

The star has previously refused to commentate on any Death Riders match, but now he has no choice, as he was a full-time member. When one of his fellow commentators asked him to remain calm as Moxley and crew entered the arena, Danielson said he was calm and had no other option, as he would be fired on the spot if he laid his hands on an active AEW star during the show.

It seems that after all these years, Danielson’s in-ring career is indeed over as he has fully committed to his commentary role. For those wanting to see Danielson dish out some revenge to The Death Riders, this is indeed sad news.
