Bryan Danielson Currently Not Under Contract with AEW – Bryan Danielson’s status with AEW has recently come under scrutiny following his announcement on the July 31st episode of Dynamite that his contract was set to expire on August 1st. Despite his contract’s expiration, Danielson had already secured a spot in the main event of AEW’s All In by winning the Owen Hart Memorial tournament.
In a recent interview with Fightful Select, Danielson revealed that he has not signed an extension with AEW, nor has he fully re-signed with the company. This means that the veteran wrestler is currently working for AEW without a formal contract in place.
Danielson’s situation is particularly intriguing given his prior statements about his wrestling future. In 2023, he mentioned that this year would likely be the final calendar year of his full-time career, signaling that he is approaching the end of his storied tenure as a professional wrestler.
The stakes are high for Danielson as he heads into All In, where he is set to challenge Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Title. This match is not just about winning a championship but could potentially mark the culmination of his prestigious career, with his legacy on the line.
Danielson’s decision to continue working without a contract adds an element of uncertainty and excitement to the storyline, as fans are left wondering about his future in AEW and professional wrestling as a whole. Whether this situation will lead to a new deal with AEW, a shift to a part-time role, or even his retirement, remains to be seen.
For now, all eyes are on All In, where Danielson will not only fight for the AEW World Title but possibly for the closing chapter of his illustrious career.
