On the October 2nd episode of AEW Dynamite, AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson defeated AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada.
In a digital exclusive, Tony Khan came out and said he wanted to take a moment to thank the fans, as he highlighted how the show marked AEW Dynamite’s fifth anniversary. He also thanked Bryan Danielson, who addressed the crowd.
“First of all, I’d like to thank Tony Khan. Without him, AEW wouldn’t be here. You wouldn’t have an alternative. It is better that AEW exists for the wrestlers, for the production people, and for professional wrestling fans. I first wrestled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 23 years ago. I don’t know if you guys remember, but you were the crowd that made me into a WrestleMania main eventer [laughs]. So I just wanted to say thank you, Pittsburgh. Last but certainly not least, I want to thank all the men and women in the back because they’re the ones who made this place so great that I had a lifetime job at WWE, and I chose to come here because there were the best wrestlers in the world, the best fans in the world, and this is the best wrestling company in the world. Next week, check out WrestleDream because at WrestleDream, in Tacoma, Washington, I am gonna kick Jon Moxley’s fucking head in,” Danielson said.
Danielson, formerly known as Daniel Bryan, left WWE and signed with AEW in 2021.
Danielson is set to team up with Wheeler Yuta to face Claudio Castagnoli and PAC on the October 8th episode of AEW Dynamite.
