In a recent interview with Inside The Ropes, All Elite Wrestling star Bryan Danielson discussed several topics, including being cleared to return to in-ring competition in 2018 and a point in that time-frame where he considered re-joining Ring Of Honor Wrestling. Danielson stated that he was in contact with Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks, but soon discovered that their deals were coming up with ROH and that it was his lawyer who advised him against the move because of the potential exits of Rhodes and The Young Bucks from Ring of Honor.

“It was really interesting, my contract with WWE was up in 2018 and I was considering going to Ring of Honor, and I was talking to The Young Bucks and I was talking to Cody, just to kind of see, all their contracts were up with Ring of Honor, and I was like, what are you guys going to do, because even my lawyer, who doesn’t know anything about pro wrestling, he said hey, I don’t think you would want to sign with Ring of Honor if these Young Bucks aren’t going to, because they’ve got this YouTube show, I don’t know if you’ve heard of it, called Being The Elite and it’s essentially the driver for the popularity of Ring of Honor at the time right, and so those guys go away, we don’t know if Ring Of Honor will nearly still be as popular, and then with Cody’s contract coming up, if they leave and Cody leaves, what will Ring Of Honor’s popularity be like, so that was a part of the discussion.”
