Bryan Danielson Confirms He’s Currently Working Without Contract in AEW

As noted before, Bryan Danielson’s contract with AEW was believed to have expired on August 1st.

Fightful held a recent interview with Danielson. One of the topics discussed included Danielson confirming that his contract with AEW had expired and he currently working without a deal for the company.

“I have no contract right now. I’m not under contract.”

Danielson also gave his thoughts about nobody outside of AEW has reached out to him for potential work but also admitted to have almost 4,000 unread text messages on his phone.

“Not a single person. People who really know me, know that I don’t look at my phone very much. Even for this interview, the AEW representative and my manager were reaching out to me and [my manager] ended up calling my wife, and then my wife called me to remind me that I had media this morning. It’s a blessing and a curse. It allows me to be more in the moment as my with my wife and kids and doing all these different things, but when people want to really get ahold of me, then I’m not available.

That said, right now, I have 3998 unread text messages. I’m almost at 4000. There is also a lot of missed calls. There could have been somebody in there, but that would require me to go through and look at all my missed text messages.”

Danielson is currently scheduled to compete for the AEW World Championship against Swerve Strickland at this Sunday’s AEW All In 2024 event at Wembley Stadium in London, England.
