According to PWInsider.com, former AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson was backstage for the entirety of last night’s AEW Dynasty pay-per-view. While it’s currently unclear whether Danielson was simply visiting or had a more specific reason for being present, speculation has naturally begun to swirl regarding his status with the company.
Danielson has been off AEW television since WrestleDream, where he was defeated by Jon Moxley in a match for the AEW World Championship. At the time, Danielson had announced that his full-time in-ring career had come to an end, marking WrestleDream as one of his final major appearances as a full-time competitor.
There is no confirmation yet as to whether his appearance at Dynasty signals a potential return to television, a behind-the-scenes role, or simply a friendly visit. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
With Danielson still under AEW contract and having previously expressed interest in helping with talent development, his presence backstage could mean more than meets the eye.
