5 legends who could be on AEW's panel for Danielson-Page II

The AEW title is on the line again, but this time Bryan Danielson is making sure that there will be a result. Judges will be enlisted to score the match if the pair run out of time.

Danielson called out the match and claimed that even if they go over the time limit, Hangman should still be able to lose. While the initial idea seems unfair, it could lead to some interesting appearances.

Using legendary wrestlers as the judges would make the match far more interesting. Quite a few legendary wrestlers are already working backstage, and a few more have shown interest in working with the All Elite promotion.

This article will go through 5 possible legends who could be chosen for the panel adjudicating the title match.

5. AEW Producer and Coach, Jerry Lynn

Jerry Lynn was one of the first wrestlers to establish the hardcore style in wrestling.

Lynn is a multi-time champion and has picked up titles in WWF (WWE), TNA (IMPACT Wrestling), as well as in ECW. His expertise would be a massive asset and he'd also garner some well deserved screen time.

Lynn has also been a coach backstage, where he's been assisting a new generation of wrestlers. Lynn never became the star he deserved to be, but he could help a deserving wrestler walk away as AEW Champion tonight.

4. Arn Anderson could be selected as a judge

Arn Anderson might be Cody Rhodes' manager and coach, but he would also be an excellent judge for the AEW title match.

Anderson had an impressive career and is one of the founding members of The Four Horsemen. He went toe-to-toe with many wrestlers who we consider to be legends today.

While Anderson never captured any significant titles, he was a generational talent. Anderson deserves to play a major role in AEW.

3. AEW could use Tully Blanchard as a judge on the panel

Tully Blanchard is another original Four Horsemen member currently involved in AEW. Blanchard would be an entertaining judge as he'd be completely against picking Adam Page, which would create an interesting storyline.

Storylines are always more engaging when the babyface has their back against a well. As with everything in wrestling, there must be a heel and a face. Tully would be an entertaining heel judge.

Blanchard also hasn't picked up multiple titles, but is an expert when it comes to wrestling.

2. The Nature Boy Ric Flair

Ric Flair is one of the greatest and most controversial wrestlers to ever step into the squared-circle.

Flair's appearance has been teased by Andrade, and appearing as a judge might be the best way to make his debut. All Elite Wrestling will have to be very careful with how they make Flair appear due to his controversial nature.

Being a 16-time world champion is a feat that can only be tied by John Cena. For fans who don't know Ric Flair, Cena's impact on modern wrestling could be compared to Flair's impact in the 80s.

1. The Hitman, Bret Hart

"The best there is. The best there was. The best there ever will be," - Bret Hart

Bret Hart is one of the most recognizable wrestling legends today, and was one of the biggest stars in the 90s.

While Hart's career was cut short in the early 2000s, he has always made the time to make appearances outside the ring. Hart last made an appearance in AEW during 2019's Double or Nothing, where he unveiled the AEW World Championship.

Having Bret Hart as a judge would not only bring legitimacy to the match itself but show that he's still on good terms with AEW. There's nobody better than The Hitman to help decide who the next champion should be.
