Earlier tonight on AEW Dynamite, Bryan Danielson, formerly known as Daniel Bryan, got physical with his former Blackpool Combat Club teammates in the go-home show before the WrestleDream Pay-Per-View this weekend. However, he may have just taken something for granted and created a new enemy for himself. That would be Wheeler Yuta.

In this war between Jon Moxley and Bryan, the former has Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, and Marina Shafir on his side. Only Wheeler chose to remain by his mentor's side and he has been willing to fight alongside all of this.

However, there have been subtle hints at Wheeler Yuta possibly joining the other side, and this may have something to do with Bryan Danielson taking him for granted.

Bryan Danielson let Wheeler Yuta get beat up earlier

Following the conclusion of tonight's blockbuster tag team main event, Bryan Danielson instantly went after Jon Moxley and brawled with him backstage. The two went at it around the arena, but eventually found themselves near the ring.

This whole time that Bryan was preoccupied, he left Wheeler Yuta in the ring to fend off a three-on-one attack by himself. He ate knee strikes, punches, and even multiple strikes to the gut using a small hammer.

When Bryan came to his aid, he did not check on him right away as he was too busy dishing out punishment to their enemies. He even showboated at them with the "Yes!" chants before coming to Yuta's aid. The 27-year-old star may take this to heart as his mentor being too fixated on Mox and not even caring about his well-being.


Claudio Castagnoli says he has Wheeler Yuta's back despite everything that has happened

On AEW Collision this past weekend, Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli finally got to speak to one another after finding each other on different sides in this war. These two men were the ones in the Blackpool Combat Club who tagged along with each other the most, so their history speaks for itself.

Claudio claimed that he has always kept Yuta's best interests at hand, and asked him to keep on trusting him as he will always have his back, unlike Bryan Danielson.

Claudio has proven how loyal he is to the Blackpool Combat Club, and this may sway Yuta to go back to them, seeing as Bryan has a habit of teaming up with others, and taking his comrades in the faction for granted.


The Blackpool Combat Club may bring out Wheeler Yuta's killer instinct

The Blackpool Combat Club was known for its ruthless fighting style, and how they have always looked for a fight. Each man on the faction had this killer instinct in them, and during their heel run last year, they were a force to be reckoned with.

However, as they turned babyface, this became less apparent, and it seems that Jon Moxley's drastic moves were in an attempt to bring this back.

Bryan Danielson does not fit the group's current demeanor, that's why they kicked him out. However, Wheeler Yuta has shown that he still has this killer instinct in him. The Blackpool Combat Club was able to briefly bring this out almost two weeks ago, and it seems that even Yuta himself has been getting carried away.

The group could feed this and force him to embrace this side of this. This may ultimately be a reason for the 27-year-old star to stick with the faction, and move away from Bryan, as he could be the weak link in Wheeler's eyes.

Fans will just have to stay tuned to AEW WrestleDream this weekend to find out whether Bryan Danielson comes out on top, and what other surprises could be in store.
