Bryan Danielson is ready to be a fighting champion, and he already has his first challenger.
During the end of Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, Danielson took to the ring to address his future. In a statement that almost sounded like a retirement speech, Danielson instead said he plans on being a fighting champion until his reign ends. Although he will need neck surgery and will likely call it quits when his reign ends, he said he still has a lot of heads to kick in.
TNT Champion Jack Perry then interrupted, as he appeared on the video screen. Perry said that Danielson may have no idea what his future holds, but he knows what’s in store for himself, and that’s winning the title. He went on to say that the last time the two met, Perry beat him at Anarchy in the Arena, and that he would retire Danielson the next time they clashed.
Perry proceeded to ambush the champion from behind, attacking him and dropping Danielson with a running knee. Perry then posed above Danielson with both his TNT Championship and the AEW World Championship.
