Bryan Danielson has yet to win a title during his stay with AEW. But he has been a focal point of programming since joining the company. He currently leads the Blackpool Combat Club, comprised of fellow WWE-turned-AEW stars Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli, as well as prospect Wheeler Yuta.

He is currently out with a broken arm, which he sustained during the main event of AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door against Kazuchika Okada. But he has seen his role expanded beyond the wrestling ring, working closely with Tony Khan in AEW creative.

Danielson originally left WWE in 2021, losing his last match to Roman Reigns in an unsuccessful attempt at the Universal title. He was in the main event of that year’s WrestleMania as he faced Roman and Edge in a triple-threat match for the title. His departure marked the end of a career that had seen him capture the WWE, World Heavyweight, United States, Intercontinental and Tag Team Championships, capped by his main event victory at WrestleMania 30, in 2014.
