The American Dragon Bryan Danielson is the new AEW World Heavyweight Champion. It is the first major title that Danielson had held in the Jacksonville-based promotion. He captured the title at the AEW All In pay-per-view. Recently, Danielson reflected on his championship victory and compared this title win to holding the WWE World Title.
Recently, Bryan Danielson was interviewed by Undisputed. During the interview, The American Dragon mentioned that winning the AEW title was perfect.
“I’m so lucky to be able to do this. The moment was so perfect. Memory is a strange thing, but my whole life, I hope I never forget it.”
Danielson also compared his AEW World Title win to the time he captured his first WWE World Title at WrestleMania 30.
“The moments were both super cool. My sister and my nieces got to come in the ring with me at WrestleMania. Brie was in Gorilla, and she was told not to come out. That was a little odd to me. This one at Wembley, I was overflowing with joy and gratitude. My son loves when I powerbomb him at the house. If I won, he said he wanted me to powerbomb him in the ring. I was going to, but he was too busy chasing the confetti. It was magic all the way around.
“Maybe I’m just not as strong as I was the last time I was champion, but the AEW world championship, the belt itself, is the heaviest belt I’ve ever had. Do I wear it around my waist? Then that’s funny getting into the ring. Put it over my shoulder? Maybe. And don’t even get me started about packing with it. I’m still figuring it out–it’s been a while since I was in this spot. But I remind myself if that’s your biggest problem, you’re living a blessed life,” Bryan Danielson said.
