WWE RAW General Manager Adam Pearce recently posted a throwback photo with AEW star Bryan Danielson. Fans have been buzzing since the post and some claim that Pearce has leaked Bryan's return for the Survivor Series PLE later this month.
The American Dragon wrestled his final match as a full-time performer last month at AEW WrestleDream. Bryan Danielson lost his AEW World Championship to Jon Moxley. The Death Rider put an end to his former best friend's full-time career as the show ended with Wheeler Yuta choking out Danielson with a plastic bag.
On his X (fka Twitter) account, Adam Pearce, who, before becoming GM, has been seen breaking up fights on WWE television for the past few years posted a throwback photo of himself, Bryan Danielson, and Shane McMahon.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Fans reacted to the photo claiming that Adam Pearce has spoiled Bryan Danielson's potential WWE return at Survivor Series.
Meanwhile, some other fans started wondering if Adam Pearce was teasing the return of Shane McMahon to WWE. A fan believed that Shane O'Mac could return to the promotion as the fifth member of The Bloodline at Survivor Series.
"Shane McMahon as the fifth member" a fan claimed.
"IS SHANE MCMAHON COMING BACK?" a fan questioned.
"Show me the GD $$$$!!!! Bring back Shane O’Mac!!!" a fan tweeted.
We will have to wait and see if there is some pay-off to Adam Pearce's recent teases on social media.
AEW World Champion Jon Moxley still considers Bryan Danielson as one of his best friends
Jon Moxley made it his personal mission to brutalize Bryan Danielson ever since he returned to AEW a couple of months ago. Moxley managed to get Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta onboard in his new faction with PAC and Marina Shafir. The former WWE star defeated Bryan Danielson at WrestleDream to win the AEW World Championship.
In a recent interview with TV Insider, Jon Moxley called Bryan Danielson one of his best friends but noted that the objective to take him out was part of the bigger picture. Moxley said he has no time to feel sad about what he did to The American Dragon.
"It’s easy to get emotionally attached to a match with Bryan Danielson. One of my best friends and training partners and a guy I’ve been down the literal and proverbial roads with all around the world for years. There was an objective that needed to be completed. He had to be taken off the board as part of the big picture. He was a thing on a checklist. There was no way I was walking out of the building without getting the job done. I don’t have time to feel sad about it."
We will have to wait and see if Bryan Danielson makes his comeback to All Elite Wrestling soon.
