"Moxley is gonna drag down Danielson" -  Wrestling veteran slams current AEW storyline

Jim Cornette recently pointed out a major flaw with the ongoing saga between Jon Moxley and Bryan Danielson on AEW programming.

After Moxley defeated Wheeler Yuta in a singles match on Dynamite last week, Danielson confronted the former WWE Champion. He cut an intense promo on Mox, notably proposing the idea of teaming up with the latter moving forward. Jon Moxley stayed silent throughout the segment, and Bryan Danielson let the Death Rider think about his tempting offer.

While discussing the same on The Jim Cornette Experience podcast, the wrestling manager called Danielson "impeccable" on the flagship show. But Cornette doesn't think pitting him against Moxley would do him any favors. In fact, he argued that this pairing would drag The American Dragon down.

"Bryan Danielson has been impeccable, a breath of fresh air, great match with Page, two matches with Page," said Cornette. "Now, we're gonna have to see Danielson and Moxley, and that's like, here's this delicious custom-made birthday celebratory cake from the finest Baker in town, and here's the g**damn stale Twinkie from the Shell station. Put them together, and the delicious cake doesn't really make the Twinkie tastes better, but the Twinkie will drag down the delicious cake, and that's what's happening. Now, Moxley is gonna drag down Danielson." (From 4:58 to 5:52)

Cornette further weighed in on fans' desire to see Mox and Bryan team up in AEW.

The wrestling manager thinks it appears to be the first instance in pro wrestling history where wrestling enthusiasts are rooting for a babyface to do whatever a heel has asked him.

"It's only been 130 years since we've had pro wrestling," Cornette continued. "Maybe this is the first time ever that people were supposed to cheer for the babyface to do what the heel's asking him to do. That would be a landmark happening." (9:15 to 9:25)

There's no denying that Mox and Bryan could become a formidable duo and dominate both the men's tag team and singles divisions.

It will be interesting to see whether the former Shield member decides to join forces with Danielson or fight against the top AEW heel.

Bryan Danielson recently expressed his desire to face Jon Moxley in AEW

While The American Dragon is trying to convince Moxley to form an ally, he has previously expressed his desire to wrestle the former AEW World Champion.

In an interview with Muscle and Fitness, the 40-year-old star stated he would love to face Moxley in an AEW ring, where they'd have the freedom they previously lacked in WWE.

"I’d love to wrestle Moxley in this [AEW] scenario, versus the WWE scenario, you know what I mean? Where we are a little bit freer and more unleashed, because I think he’s fantastic," said Danielson."

With the AEW Revolution right around the corner, fans could see the rivalry between Mox and Bryan unfold leading up to the event.
