When AEW decided that Danielson would face Sabre Jr at WrestleDream on October 1st.
On the AEW Collision prior to AEW All Out, many fans were unsure who would step up to defend Ricky Steamboat against Ricky Starks, with the previous answer obviously being CM Punk. However, Bryan Danielson would answer the call, returning a month ahead of schedule from a broken arm. Danielson would go on to win this match.
On last Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, Bryan would note that he will be retiring once his daughter turns seven in the next year. He would also challenge Zack Sabre Jr for WrestleDream, with the match quickly being made official for the event.
