From one off-air choking out of an All Elite presence to another, eh!

It's been well documented over the years how Bryan Danielson found himself being unceremoniously booted from WWE for a time on the back of his Nexus debut that involved the choking of now-AEW announcer Justin Roberts with his own tie. So, when the pair eventually found themselves plying their trade within Tony Khan's walls, The American Dragon simply couldn't resist calling back to this controversial occurrence after the November 3 edition of Dynamite.

After goading Roberts into taking off his jacket - with a little help from a rampant live crowd - and asking a present Tony Khan if AEW was a "PG company", the AEW President kept his back firmly turned as Danielson threatened to try and get himself fired from his current employers in the very same fashion as he did all those years ago.

Opting to send the All Elite folks home happy instead of straight into therapy, though, the former World Champion happily patted his colleague on the back and saluted Roberts' announcing abilities on this occasion. But for a second there, Danielson had his boss and everyone in attendance squirming like only he can.
