Jordynne Grace Breaks Powerlifting Records, Konnan Asks Tony Khan About Daniel Bryan | Fight Size
Here is your fight size update for Saturday, July 24, 2021.
– Speaking with Wrestling Observer Radio, Kenny Omega spoke glowingly about AEW’s women’s division and expressed his hope for Rampage to feature more female talent.
“Rather than give them more Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega, MJF…I’d rather give them the extremely talented individuals that maybe you can’t see that week,” he said. “We have incredibly gifted female wrestlers that have been working really hard fighting for a spot, maybe it’s time we give them some more. That would count as a variation in content: more women’s wrestling.”
– On a recent episode of his Keepin It 100 podcast, Konnan said that he asked Tony Khan directly whether he had signed Daniel Bryan. He said the following (h/t Wrestling Inc):
“I will tell you this because I did ask Tony Khan,” Konnan said. “The only reason I asked him is because I wanted to use Bryan Danielson in AAA.”
“I was like, ‘Hey man, have you signed Bryan Danielson?’ He goes, ‘You know I can’t tell you that’ and then I looked at him and I go ‘bro, if that **** shows up in Chicago, that place is gonna melt’, and he just smiled. So I think he might have but he has not told me.”
– The Young Bucks changed their bio to share their thoughts on the reports that AEW has signed Daniel Bryan and CM Punk.
