6 Best Choices For Interim AEW World Champion During CM Punk’s Injury Absence

5. Bryan Danielson

Bryan Danielson was in the AEW World Title picture at the end of 2021, and put on a couple of fantastic matches with Adam Page.

With the exception of CM Punk and possibly now MJF, Danielson is the biggest star in AEW outside of those guys, so if star power is what Tony Khan is looking for in a world champion, he should look no further.

The only issue here is that Danielson is currently caught up in the ongoing war against the Jericho Appreciation Society, so he might have to be taken out of that to shift attention to the interim world title.

Having said that, the NJPW Best of the Super Juniors tournament is now over, meaning Wheeler Yuta should be back soon, so perhaps he could just take Danielson’s place.
