Bryan Danielson on WWE & Vince McMahon Called Him To Try to Bring Him Back Before His AEW Debut at All Out 2021

Nick Stav held a recent interview with Bryan Danielson. One of the topics discussed included Danielson’s thoughts about his debut for AEW at All Out 2021 and how WWE and Vince McMahon made one last attempt to re-sign him to their company.

“I hadn’t actually signed my contract until two or three days before (his AEW debut).

When WWE found out that I hadn’t signed yet, they said, is there anything we can do?

I called (Vince McMahon) in early August and let him know, ‘Okay, I’ve made my decision and I’m gonna do this.’ Then he had called me one time kind of in the meantime and said, ‘Hey, what if we offered you this instead? That sort of thing.’

It was maybe five days before the pay-per-view and he called me. And this is just what I told him, I said ‘Sir, I’ve already agreed to this thing and if I was somebody to go back on this, like, I feel like you have a decent amount of respect for me, would you still respect me? One of the things that you respect about me is I honor my word.’ But it was a great conversation and he said, ‘Dammit, you’re right.'”
