Bryan Danielson Knew About Shane McMahon's AEW Meeting Before Tony Khan Told Him

As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in the world of professional wrestling, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia hearing about the potential return of Shane McMahon to the ring, this time possibly in All Elite Wrestling (AEW). The idea of seeing him back in action is intriguing, especially considering his past history with Bryan Danielson during their WWE SmackDown days.


It’s possible that All Elite Wrestling (AEW) might bring in someone like a McMahon at some point down the line. This idea was initially raised by WWE Hall of Famer and AEW commentator Jim Ross earlier this summer, stating it might not be as far-fetched as fans might think. The conversation grew from there, with whispers of Shane McMahon talking to unidentified AEW talent spreading on social media. These rumors soon turned into credible reports after AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Mon? disclosed a casual airport encounter with Shane and their brief chat. More recently, AEW President Tony Khan had an official meeting with Shane, where they reportedly discussed potential future collaborations.

The American Dragon is open to reuniting with his former fellow WWE SmackDown executive in AEW.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m chiming in about The Gorilla Position topic. Bryan Danielson made it clear that he’s clueless about the Shane McMahon vs AEW scenario, but he’s keeping an open mind about it.

As a fan, if only I had the knowledge to share, I wouldn’t keep it from you! But alas, I’m clueless [laughs]. However, rest assured, I’m all for collaboration with anyone and everyone. There’s no animosity or beef between us, just pure positivity at 100 percent!

Currently, Danielson’s professional wrestling contract with AEW has ended, and at the moment, it seems he is working on an informal basis for the time being. However, his backstage agreement with AEW remains intact, as he holds another deal linked to his off-screen duties. Primarily, Danielson collaborates closely with AEW President Tony Khan in a consulting role, helping Khan develop storylines and matches. Khan values Danielson’s input so much that he stated Danielson would take over AEW if he ever needed to step down.

Khan discussed with Danielson his encounter with Shane. However, it turned out that Danielson had previously learned about it because a picture of them together had been shared on social media platforms.

As someone who has spent my entire life immersed in the world of professional wrestling, I find it fascinating when unexpected connections are revealed within our close-knit community. It was intriguing to discover that Tony had met with Shane McMahon, a revelation he shared with me after a photo surfaced. Although I didn’t verbalize it at the time, my initial reaction was a subtle nod of acknowledgment – “Yeah, I know,” I thought to myself, because the news had already spread like wildfire across social media. It’s no secret that I tend to steer clear of Twitter and other social platforms, as I prefer to focus on my craft and the real-life connections that truly matter.

Danielson has had a long-standing connection with Shane. In 2016, they both held executive positions in WWE SmackDown, with Danielson serving as the brand’s general manager and Shane acting as commissioner. Following this, in 2018, Danielson was given medical approval to return to wrestling, and his comeback match was a tag team contest against Shane, opposite Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn at WWE WrestleMania 34.

On Sunday, August 25th, Swerve Strickland’s AEW World Title will be contested by Danielson during the event AEW ALL IN: London.
