A new report has emerged regarding AEW's plans for Bryan Danielson. The subject of the report relates to the selection of his upcoming challenger for his world title.
The American Dragon had laid his career on the line against Swerve Strickland in their AEW World Championship match at All In last month. Despite being busted open and taken to task by The New Flavor, Danielson succeeded at dethroning Strickland to win the AEW World Title, much to the delight of fans in Wembley Stadium.
The 43-year-old veteran called out the AEW locker room to step up last week on Dynamite after revealing that he would continue to defend his belt. The challenge would be answered by none other than Jack Perry, who blindsided Danielson after declaring that beating and retiring the latter was going to be his legacy.

A new report from Fightful Select has shed some light on the subject, claiming that even though the Blackpool Combat Club member has a degree of sway over the selection of his opponents during his final run as a full-time competitor, Perry being chosen to be Danielson's first World Championship defense was a decision made by the Tony Khan-led promotion.
