Bryan Danielson will face off against one of his greatest rivals at AEW Grand Slam, if he is cleared to wrestle.
Earlier in the year, Darby Allin won a future opportunity at the AEW World Championship. However, following a confrontation with Jon Moxley on the September 11th episode of Dynamite, Allin’s path has changed as he will instead put up his shot against Mox inside Arthur Ashe Stadium.
With Danielson without a challenger, Nigel McGuinness seized the opportunity and announced that he would be returning to the ring at Grand Slam to take on the World Champion in a non-title match. This will also be McGuinness’s first match since his shock return to the ring back at All In.
