Bryan Danielson Claims AEW Creative Role Reports Are "Overstated"
Bryan Danielson has downplayed reports that he is involved in AEW creative, calling them “overstated.”
Earlier this year, reports emerged that Bryan Danielson was heavily involved in the overall creative direction of AEW and specifically, played a big hand in the creative of the early episodes of AEW Collision.
Now, The American Dragon has tackled those reports directly. In an interview with Sports Nightly, Danielson downplayed his creative role in the company and claimed Tony Khan simply asks him about particular ideas from time to time.
“I think it’s probably a little overstated. People ask me about it all the time, and I really don’t do that much extra. Sometimes Tony asks me about certain ideas — or whatever — for ‘Collision’, and sometimes he doesn’t. He’s a very busy man. Football season has started […] I hear a lot less from him during football season.”
“It’s one of those things where these shows are still Tony Khan-produced shows, most of these ideas are Tony Khan’s ideas.”
