Bryan Danielson makes surprise AEW return during PAC tribute

Bryan Danielson made a surprise return to AEW television during a Dynamite episode dedicated to the late wrestler PAC. Following a match between Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy, Danielson appeared to share an emotional moment with Moxley before joining the Death Riders in a ten-man tag team match, where they defeated the Don Callis Family.

Despite this appearance, reports indicate that Danielson is not currently factored into AEW’s immediate on-screen plans. Danielson, who retired from full-time competition in 2024, has previously dealt with neck injuries that made regular travel difficult. While he has contributed as a commentator, his recent in-ring return appears to be a specific moment rather than a return to a regular schedule.
