Ranking Every WWE To AEW Move From Worst To Best

2. Bryan Danielson

Perhaps the only star who can honestly rival fellow Blackpool Combat Club member Claudio Castagnoli when it comes to the sheer level of quality pumped into his first few All Elite showings, Bryan Danielson's return to all things savage saw The American Dragon utterly reigniting before our very eyes.

After so long outside of the professional wrestling bubble, you'd have forgiven the star, who'd once been forced to retire due to many a significant concussion, for easing himself back into the hard-hitting game post-WWE exit in May 2021. But this being the violent veteran, Danielson got his AEW career underway with a five-star classic opposite AEW World Champion Kenny Omega before seemingly refusing to drop his standards below a four-star banger ever since.

His back-to-back epics with Adam Page over the big belt, vicious duel with Jon Moxley at Revolution 2022, and feature role in the Anarchy in the Arena hit are just a few noteworthy examples of why Danielson becoming All Elite has been one of modern wrestlings greatest rewards.
