Bryan Danielson Defeats Nigel McGuinness at AEW Grand Slam

In an emotional return to the ring, Nigel McGuinness faced Bryan Danielson at AEW Dynamite Grand Slam, marking McGuinness' first singles match since 2011. Danielson, the AEW World Champion, overcame McGuinness despite significant injuries, including a heavily taped neck and an arm injury from a previous match. The contest ended with Danielson locking in the LeBell Lock, leading McGuinness to tap out after expressing gratitude. Post-match, Christian Cage attempted to cash in his championship contract, but Kip Sabian hijacked the moment by stealing Cage's pen. The match showcased the storied rivalry between the two wrestlers, culminating in Danielson's continued championship reign. Danielson is set to defend his title against Jon Moxley at WrestleDream, while McGuinness's future in the ring remains uncertain.
