5 reasons why Bryan Danielson should be the next AEW World Champion - Dream match with 6-time WWE world champion, More mainstream appeal?

#4 Bryan Danielson elevates the AEW World Title

AEW is lucky to have Bryan Danielson on their roster. He has wrestled all across the world and a variety of opponents that few would realize. He brings that pure aggressive wrestling style that few will witness in Japan or 'Strong Style' as some would call it.

While it's true that the company has a plethora of wrestlers that wrestle aggressively, and Kenny Omega is the embodiment of that, Danielson occupies a higher plane.

Omega has been heavily criticized for embracing the 'silliness' of wrestling, bringing it down a peg with his 'flips.' Certainly, wrestling veteran Jim Cornette is no fan. But that's where Danielson comes in.

He's the bridge between the old and the new. He combines a traditional style that Cornette loves with the new-age high voltage that The Cleaner provides day in and day out. While Bryan Danielson's WWE career may have something to do that, some fans would disagree.

If WWE is the clean-cut 'high brow' theatre, AEW is the broken-down 10 dollar show that the masses love. Of course, that is a little biased and hyperbole at best, but it speaks to what fans say about Danielson.

It was on his shoulders and CM Punk's that some promotions created a new generation of wrestlers, and it's only fitting that the AEW World Championship should lie around his waist.
