Bryan Danielson sees plenty of stars ready to main event for AEW.
The American Dragon did a long-form interview with Mike Johnson of PWInsider and talked about being in a marquee dream match at the appropriately named WrestleDream. Bryan Danielson will be taking on Zack Sabre Jr., a match that was originally planned for the first Forbidden Door, but he hopes he and Sabre. Jr aren’t closing out the show.
“I’m hoping we’re not at the end of the pay-per-view. So that’s my hope. I have joked but only half joking with Tony Khan. I was like, ‘I never wanted a main event, another AEW pay-per-view ever again.’ Right? And this is a positive for AEW. The AEW pay-per-views are outstanding, right? And it is hard for me as a 42-year-old still trying to do this professional wrestling thing to match, say for example, the physicality of something like the Kenny Omega-Will Ospreay match before.
“So when I wrestled Okada, we had to follow that match and it’s in Canada with Kenny Omega and it’s like oh my gosh. And at the end of a very long show, that’s a tough ask.”
Bryan Danielson Happy With His Spot At AEW All Out
Danielson continues on, stating that he was happy where he was on the card at AEW All Out as he faced Ricky Starks in a strap match, a battle that arguably stole the show.
“I was very grateful that me and Ricky Starks were in the middle of all out for our Strap Match. And that’s why I was so odd by Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy from All Out is because being the last match on an AEW pay-per-view is tough. It’s a tough, tough thing, and they did a fantastic job. So yeah. I’ve been trying to convince Tony this whole time that me and Zack should not be in the main event.”
Danielson said that he would like the crowd in Seattle to get a specific chant going during his match at WrestleDream.
