Real Reason Bryan Danielson Won AEW World Championship

AEW

The real reason Bryan Danielson won the AEW World Championship at All In London has been revealed, courtesy of a new report.

In the anticipated ‘Career vs. Title’ main event match between Swerve Strickland and Bryan Danielson at AEW All In London, it was Danielson who came out on top, capturing his first world title in the company and securing his in-ring future.

With The American Dragon working on a ‘handshake deal’ following his contract expiry in early August, questions remain over his AEW future, despite winning the company’s top prize.

While we await proper answers to those questions, we have a new report from Fightful Select that has shed light on the decision to put the AEW World Championship on Danielson at Wembley Stadium.

According to the report, Danielson actively “pushed against” the idea of winning any championships in the company, with it being AEW President Tony Khan that was adamant on Danielson capturing gold at some point in his run.

Ultimately Danielson gave in to Khan’s wishes, which gave us the memorable conclusion to All In London that we all witnessed on Sunday night.

Sources Fightful spoke to immediately following All In London claimed that Danielson vs. Strickland was the planned main event for the show “at least by April” this year.

As to why it wasn’t home-country favorite Will Ospreay in that spot, one source noted that the Aerial Assassin will have many other chances to headline Wembley in years to come.
