Bryan Danielson has made it no secret that he wants to wrestle wherever he can. His move to AEW opens that gate even more so than in WWE, who were willing to allow him to wrestle outside the company. The American Dragon has tons of dream matches he can have against the biggest stars in Japan.

Whether it happens sooner or later, Danielson has to go on an extended run in NJPW. Matches against Kazuchika Okada, Will Ospreay, and Tomohiro Ishii, among many others, sound like absolute treats. They are all made somewhat possible thanks to AEW opening the 'forbidden door.'

Based on AEW's booking of monumental moments in quick succession, it would not be surprising to see Bryan Danielson take on CM Punk later in 2021. In fact, the two former WWE Champions could face each other at Full Gear on November 13th.

A match between AEW's two greatest signings would be the biggest in the promotion's history. Punk and Danielson have wrestled before, most notably during their 2012 feud in WWE. All of their matches were excellent, but their next one could surpass it based on the likely atmosphere.

AEW can book a storyline between CM Punk and Bryan Danielson in multiple different ways, all of which would lead to magic in the ring. It has to happen at some point, be it this year or beyond.
