Bryan Danielson does not believe he is AEW World Champion right now.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Danielson, 43, said that he didn’t think he was the right person to be a World Champion anymore. He also stated that it wasn’t the best thing for him and his body. Danielson has not held a championship with AEW. His last World title reign was in WWE between 2018 and 2019.
Danielson told Sports Illustrated he does not want to be involved in his own creative work, even though he plays a role behind the scenes at AEW.
Danielson said: “I don’t want to be [world champion]-I don’t feel that that’s my current position.” “The quality of the wrestling in AEW has reached such a high level that it is difficult to get main-event pay per view. My body isn’t able to do that anymore. I know that there are some fans who would love to do this, but it’s not my place. Here’s the truth. I don’t care about my own work in any way. I don’t even know how people think I am creative. It’s hard to be objective in wrestling, so I leave it in the hands other people.”
Danielson is currently wrapping up his full-time wrestling career. He hopes to compete at AEW All In in August, and has hinted that his last match as a wrestler full-time could be at WrestleDream in October. The WrestleDream Pay-Per-View will be held at the Tacoma Dome, in Danielson’s native state of Washington.
Danielson plans to wrestle part-time after his full-time wrestling career ends.
Danielson will face NJPW star Shingo Takaya in the first round of the Owen Hart Cup Tournament at Forbidden Door on Sunday. The winner of the tournament receives a shot at an AEW World championship match at All In.
Swerve Strickland is the current AEW World Champion and he defends against Will Ospreay in Forbidden Doors.
