#4. Backstage updates on Daniel Bryan's AEW status ahead of All Out 2021
Cassidy Haynes of Bodyslam.net was the first to report that Daniel Bryan was slated to make his AEW debut at All Out. Wrestling Observer's Bryan Alvarez followed up and confirmed the report based on inputs from several AEW sources.
Dave Meltzer has now issued an update and revealed that despite no confirmation from AEW, Daniel Bryan's debut was scheduled to happen on the show. It was added that if Bryan does not show up for some reason, it should be considered a last-minute change from AEW's end.
"Obviously Danielson's debut is not confirmed in the sense by the promotion, but we've been told by multiple sources it was scheduled for the show, and Bodyslam.net had been the first to report it publicly. If it doesn't happen, it would be a change in plans," revealed Meltzer.
It was additionally stated that Daniel Bryan's debut could have happened a while back, but the former WWE superstar decided to take a break during the summer.
AEW was also uncertain about the date of his debut and had zeroed down on two shows, September 5th's All Out or the Dynamite Grand Slam show on September 22nd.
As of this writing, fans should hope to see Daniel Bryan at All Out.

While there is still not much clarity over the real reason behind the match being nixed, Meltzer reported that the bout would happen on regular AEW TV whenever PAC is available to compete.
While PAC will be unavailable for the All Out event, Andrade still seems ready to wrestle and even teased the possibility of facing another opponent.
