Before he was eventually able to earn his bout against MJF, Bryan Danielson had to compete in a number of wars each week on AEW Dynamite. The American Dragon overcame all the challenges put in front of him to secure his championship bout over the last few weeks.
The high-stakes battle between the Salt of the Earth and the former WWE champion has main event written all over it. But Bryan Danielson mentioned while speaking to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated that it would have been the first match on the card if he had his way.
“I would love to convince Tony [Khan] to let us go first, mostly because I go to bed really early. On Sunday, my wife couldn’t believe this; I went to bed at 8:03. There is a chance I will be going to the ring at that time this Sunday. We’ll be in San Francisco, and the idea of wrestling at five is much more suited to my personality.”
