Bryan Danielson on AEW Contract Expiration

Bryan Danielson, a celebrated wrestler, has announced that his AEW contract will expire on August 1, 2024, coinciding with his son's fourth birthday. Danielson, who won the 2024 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, is set to challenge Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Championship at All In on August 25, which may be his final match. Despite his impending contract expiration, Danielson has stated he will not be using this opportunity to negotiate for more money, unlike other wrestlers. His potential retirement has sparked reactions from fellow wrestlers, notably Max Caster, who hopes Danielson will announce his retirement. Danielson's future role in AEW remains uncertain, but he has hinted at stepping back due to ongoing neck issues and promises made to his family. AEW's upcoming events and rivalries, including the aftermath of the Blood & Guts match, are expected to shape the narrative leading up to All In.
