Bryan Danielson Appears After AEW Collision Taping, Answers Max Caster’s Open Challenge

For the second week in a row, Bryan Danielson got physical at an AEW event.

Danielson steps back into the ring.

AEW Dynamite on June 25th aired live from Kent, Washington, and after the show ended, they taped the 6/26 episode of Collision.

That taping was headlined by Kyle Fletcher versus Kyle O’Reilly. After the bout, O’Reilly was going to speak to the audience, but was interrupted by Max Caster. Caster proceeded to issue an open challenge, and out came former AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson.

They went face-to-face, and then Adam Cole superkicked Caster. Danielson went on to submit Caster with the ‘LeBell Lock’ in under 10 seconds. Danielson proceeded to say he would be joining The Paragon (Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong) for one night and would be going by the name ‘Kyle Danielson.’

‘The Final Countdown’ played as the event officially came to an end.
