During Sunday’s AEW All In: London 2024 pay-per-view event, Bryan Danielson defeated Swerve Strickland to win the AEW World Championship in the main event.
During the post-show media scrum, Danielson discussed his title victory and mentioned that he is unsure of what is next for him.
You can check out some highlights from the presser below:
On how he’s feeling: “I feel pretty great. People ask me all the time what my favorite moment is in wrestling, and I can never give them one answer because I’ve loved all of it. But this is the first time she [Birdie] remembers seeing me wrestle live. This is the first time my son’s seen me wrestle live. And without a doubt, this was my favorite moment in my entire career.”
On what’s next for him: “So I honestly haven’t thought at all about my future past tonight. [laughs] So I don’t know what’s going to happen. But I’ll be there in Champaign, Illinois on Wednesday. And between now and then, we’ll figure it out and I’m sure I’ll have an announcement then.”
On a potential opponent for AEW WrestleDream: “Honestly, like I said I have no — this was my sole focus, is tonight. And I was really happy with how things turned out. And everything going forward, I’m going to have to think about.”
On Swerve Strickland: “So I don’t like to rank opponents as far as like, ‘Oh, this person’s better than this person, or this person’s better than this person.’ Swerve is incredible. Like every step of the way — I think that as far as the build for this match, Swerve carried the load. And he did an incredible job, and he’s been an incredible World Champion. And I can’t speak highly enough about who he is as a wrestler, as an interviewer, or how he’s like — when he does interviews, how he is with the press. He’s so good. And just overall, what a wonderful human being.”
