At AEW All Out, Bryan Danielson successfully defended his AEW World Championship against Jack Perry, but the match ended in chaos when referee Bryce Remsburg was accidentally injured. After the match, Danielson celebrated with the Blackpool Combat Club (BCC), only to be brutally attacked by his allies, Claudio Castagnoli and Jon Moxley, marking a dramatic turn of events. Moxley suffocated Danielson with a plastic bag, prompting AEW to refrain from airing the graphic footage. Matt Hardy has since suggested that Hangman Page should be the one to retire Danielson, who has expressed intentions to end his full-time wrestling career upon losing the title. As Danielson's future remains uncertain, fans speculate on the implications of the BCC's betrayal and the potential new direction for both Danielson and the faction. Wheeler Yuta, who was shocked by the attack, rushed to help Danielson as he received medical attention.
