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

#2 Bryan Danielson as AEW World Champion would make others bigger stars

Bryan Danielson has been a 'beast' in AEW since he debuted for the company a short time ago. He strides to the ring with purpose and intrigue. He's not there for the cheers of the crowd, at least, not overtly. His character is a subtle variant of his persona and oozes charisma, anger, and power all rolled into one.

Given Danielson's pedigree and the history that he embodies for wrestling fans, he can bring a 'tough guy' attitude to the world title. This is not to take away from the world of Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley, or even Kenny Omega. They have all been great champions, especially Jericho, who has made his mission to help make new stars for All Elite Wrestling.

While Hangman Page may become the next World Champion, he would probably benefit more from a program with Bryan Danielson. Call it history, call it fantasy or call it a hunch. While the story with Page and Omega is fascinating, this would be an accurate study of past vs. present.

Stars like Hangman Page looked up to Bryan Danielson all those years ago, and others like him will benefit more if he becomes AEW World Champion.
