One big thing: Bryan Danielson’s potential retirement sparks Hall of Fame debate

As Bryan Danielson prepares for a potential career-ending match at AEW’s All In, Tommy Dreamer questions the likelihood of a WWE Hall of Fame induction for the wrestling veteran.

The details:

• Danielson faces Swerve Strickland in a “Title versus Career” match at All In on August 27.
• The match could mark Danielson’s second retirement from professional wrestling.
• Dreamer expressed skepticism about WWE inducting Danielson, citing the “new regime” and potential AEW loyalty.

What they’re saying:

“Deservingly so, yes. Whole other regime? Don’t know if new regime just views him as he’s an AEW guy,” Dreamer said on “Busted Open” radio.

Why it matters:

Danielson’s potential induction highlights the complex relationships between wrestling promotions and the industry’s recognition of talent across company lines.

By the numbers:

• Danielson has been wrestling professionally for nearly 25 years.
• He spent about 20 years with WWE, on and off.
• This would be his first AEW World Championship if he wins at All In.

The big picture:

Danielson’s career spans multiple promotions, including WWE, Ring of Honor, and AEW, making him a unique case for Hall of Fame consideration.

What’s next:

The outcome of Danielson’s match at All In could significantly impact his future in wrestling and his potential for Hall of Fame inductions.
