Bryan Danielson‘s retirement tour continues with a victory over Jack Perry at AEW All Out.
The finish saw Danielson hit Perry with the Busaiku Knee to score the pinfall victory.
After the match, Killswitch attacked Danielson to set up a cash-in for Christian Cage. But an appearance from Jon Moxley, alongside the rest of Blackpool Combat Club prevented the cash-in from taking place.
Moxley gets in the ring and hugs Danielson before Castagnoli and Moxley turn heel on Danielson. Moxley places a plastic bag on Danielson’s head to choke him out while Yuta is restrained by PAC and is unable to assist Danielson.
Yuta remained with Danielson as Moxley, Castagnoli, PAC, and Marina Shafir left together through the crowd.
