WWE Star Calls AEW’s Bryan Danielson ‘One Of The Greatest’

AEW

Former WWE Champion Kofi Kingston has called former AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson “one of the greatest.”

Despite their separate legacies, Kofi Kingston will always be connected to Bryan Danielson thanks to their 2019 “KofiMania” storyline leading up to WrestleMania 35.

Appearing on the latest In The Kliq podcast, Kofi Kingston reflected on his feud with Bryan Danielson and his legacy in the business. He said:

“Daniel Bryan, I think, is one of the greatest,”

“He’s gotta be a top five of all time for a lot of different reasons [beginning with] resiliency.”

“I mean, he’s a guy who broke his neck and came back [after] people said he wasn’t gonna be able to do it. You have to admire someone that can do that, you know?” 

Recalling people telling how Danielson advocated for him to win the WWE Championship, Kingston said:

“I know he was a very big advocate of [a championship run for Kingston],”

“He’ll never brag about that because that [wasn’t his purpose]. It was just about doing the right thing and I’m always grateful for that.” 

Kofi Kingston recently turned heel alongside Xavier Woods of The New Day in a segment with Big E in WWE, while Bryan Danielson is currently absent from AEW TV after finishing up his full-time career.
