AEW star Bryan Danielson may wrestle his last match as a full-time wrestler at WrestleDream this year. He will seemingly be headlining the event against Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship. The event will be held in his hometown, Washington.
Jon Moxley and Bryan Danielson have a ton of history together in the Jacksonville-based promotion. The duo were members of The Blackpool Combat Club alongside William Regal, Wheeler Yuta, and Claudio Castagnoli. The faction dominated every other group for many months. However, the stable didn't seem as usual in the last few months. Shockingly, the BCC broke up at All Out pay-per-view.
The Lunatic Fringe betrayed Danielson by suffocating him with a plastic bag. The former also formed a new faction involving PAC, Claudio Castagnoli and Marina Shafir. They have dominated the entire locker room in just a couple of weeks, and Moxley set his sights on the world title. The latter defeated Darby Allin and threw him out of the race for the AEW World Championship.
