Bryan Danielson Becomes Full-Time AEW Dynamite Broadcast Team Member

A New Backstage Wrestling Life

Danielson wrapped up his full-time career in the ring when he dropped the AEW World Championship in October 2024. He still makes occasional appearances for the promotion. Since his retirement, Danielson has remained active in AEW as a backstage member. He has been there every week producing matches.

Danielson provided analysis for several matches during the Continental Classic tournament in late 2024. He was also recently in commentary for AEW All In and AEWx NJPW Forbidden Door, and fans were caught by how much of a natural he seemed on the mic. This wasn’t the first Danielson found himself in an on-air non-wrestling role.

During his first retirement with WWE, as Daniel Bryan, he assumed the role of SmackDown General Manager, alongside Shane McMahon as the commissioner of the brand. For the most part, fans loved Danielson’s work as the GM of the Blue brand, since wrestling don’t see face authority figures that much.

There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that Danielson will excel in this new role, considering his decades of experience in professional wrestling, in and out of the wrestling ring.
