House of Black member sends a two-word message to Bryan Danielson after retirement at AEW WrestleDream

AEW WrestleDream 2024 marked the end of Bryan Danielson's extraordinary full-time in-ring career. Not only did he lose the AEW World Championship, but his mentee, Wheeler Yuta, betrayed him and joined forces with Jon Moxley's stable. House of Black's Buddy Matthews has now sent a message to The American Dragon.

WrestleDream's conclusion shocked fans worldwide. Moxley, PAC, Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli, and Marina Shafir laid waste to Danielson following the title match. Hence, The American Dragon was stretchered out of the arena.

Fans and people associated with the pro wrestling industry will now have to make peace with the fact that Danielson will perform sporadically inside the ring. After the show, viewers shared numerous heartfelt messages on social media, thanking the former World Champion for entertaining them and being a true professional.

A few hours ago, Buddy Matthews shared a picture alongside Danielson from their time in WWE. On his Instagram Story, the House of Black member wrote "Thank you" to acknowledge The American Dragon's contributions to pro wrestling.
