Bryan Danielson Makes Surprise Return After AEW Grand Slam Mexico – Bryan Danielson stunned fans in Mexico City with an unexpected post-show appearance following the June 18 broadcast of AEW Grand Slam Mexico. After the event went off the air, Danielson got physically involved in the ring for the first time since his last official match in 2024, signaling what could be a major turning point in his in-ring future.

Danielson emerged to save his longtime wrestling idol, Blue Panther, who was under attack after his match. After rallying several luchadors from the locker room to assist, Danielson entered the ring himself and nailed one of the attackers with his trademark Busaiku Knee, clearing the ring and receiving a thunderous ovation from the crowd inside Arena México.

The surprise moment was especially significant given Danielson’s well-documented health issues. His final sanctioned match took place at AEW WrestleDream 2024, where he faced Jon Moxley in what was billed as his retirement from full-time competition. The decision stemmed from persistent neck issues — the same type of injuries that led to his initial retirement from WWE in 2016.

Since stepping away from active wrestling, Danielson has remained active backstage in AEW, taking on various roles including creative and mentoring responsibilities. However, his involvement in Wednesday’s angle marks his first physical appearance in the ring since that farewell match and has naturally reignited speculation about a possible return.

At this time, there is no official word on whether Danielson has been medically cleared to wrestle again or if this was a one-off moment to honor Blue Panther and excite the live crowd. Regardless, the moment sent a powerful message — Bryan Danielson may not be done just yet.
