At AEW All Out, Bryan Danielson successfully defended his World Championship against Jack Perry, but the post-match events drew significant controversy. After his victory, Danielson was attacked by Jon Moxley, who attempted to suffocate him with a plastic bag, provoking a crowd reaction of 'This is murder.' This incident echoed a similar controversial angle from 1989 involving Terry Funk and Ric Flair, highlighting the ongoing debate over violence in wrestling storytelling. AEW later stated they would not share footage of the attack due to its graphic nature. The show also featured a brutal steel cage match between Adam Page and Swerve Strickland, solidifying All Out as one of the most violent events in AEW history. The aftermath has raised questions about the direction of Danielson's career and the implications of Moxley's actions within the storyline.
