After his triumphant rise through the ranks of the biggest promotion in wrestling, Danielson's career was cut short in 2016 when he retired due to concussions and neck injuries. But Bryan fought diligently to return to the ring, and he successfully came back in 2018.

After his in-ring return at WrestleMania 34, Bryan Danielson couldn't find his footing in WWE until he turned heel and defeated AJ Styles to win the WWE Championship. His Planet's Champion reign was some of Bryan's best work, and it culminated in him dropping the gold to Kofi Kingston at WrestleMania 35.

Bryan Danielson eventually turned babyface again and found himself back in the main event of WrestleMania this year against Edge and Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Following a loss at the Showcase of Immortals, Danielson lost to Roman Reigns in his final WWE match on the April 30th episode of SmackDown.

His AEW debut came as a shock to many fans who believed that he would find his way back to WWE.

At All Out 2021, Bryan quickly inserted himself at the top of the card by interrupting AEW World Champion Kenny Omega and The Elite. On the September 8th episode of AEW Dynamite, Danielson made a challenge to Omega for a singles bout.

The following week, Bryan Danielson once again laid down the challenge, but Don Callis initially turning him down. Still, Bryan goaded Omega by questioning his manhood and his status as the Best Bout Machine to get him to accept the challenge. This develpment sets the stage for a huge showdown at AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam that nobody saw coming earlier this year.

Bryan Danielson and Kenny Omega are two of the best wrestlers in the world. They are two remarkably gifted competitors who have put on some of the greatest professional wrestling matches that fans have witnessed in the past two decades. This collision is a dream match that is over a decade in the making, with the two men last facing each other for PWG in 2009.

Many wrestling fans will say that this bout is the main reason they will tune in for this huge television event. The atmosphere will be truly amazing in front of nearly 20,000 fans in New York City.
