Bryan Danielson made a surprise in-ring appearance at the ACTION DEAN~!!!2 tribute show on May 24, marking his first time in a wrestling ring since his last AEW match in October 2024, where he lost the AEW World Championship to Jon Moxley. His appearance, which included a hug with Blue Panther and a promo praising independent wrestler Adam Priest, sparked speculation about his future in wrestling amid his ongoing neck issues.
