In a recent interview with Busted Open Radio, All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan discussed the signing of Bryan Danielson to the company, including Danielson wanting to come to AEW.

“Bryan Danielson being available and a free agent, his contract expiring and him wanting to come to AEW is not something anybody had planned for or expected a long time ago, that came together relatively quickly.

That was huge, huge, huge news for AEW, those are great surprises that really put this over the top, the way the end was layered, it was just perfect, everybody I talked to said it was perfect. When we executed it, we did it perfectly.”
