In a recent interview with WFAN’s Moose & Maggie to promote the AEW Dynamite Grand Slam and AEW Rampage Grand Slam shows at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York, All Elite Wrestling star Bryan Danielson discussed several topics, including how he considered other options besides AEW or WWE.

“There wasn’t any convincing that Tony could do, I’d already seen the product, it was a different situation than Punk, I was under contract with the WWE. The big hard thing for me is my loyalty, to specifically Vince McMahon, I have a great relationship with him, I love that man and he’s done so much for me and my family and the things I’ve learned and that kind of stuff, so that was the hard thing.

There was also, a lot of people look at it in terms of two options, you’re either going to be with WWE or AEW, but part of me was like, or I could just do like an independent schedule where I don’t sign with anybody and I also thought about not coming back to wrestling at all, in the sense of at least the next couple of years.”
