10 Wrestlers Who Went To Extreme Lengths To Join AEW

If you would've told the average wrestling fan that Daniel Bryan would've kissed goodbye to all things Sports Entertainment just a matter of weeks after main eventing the biggest show of the year, most would've quite rightly questioned your sanity.

But fast forward a couple of days on from being conquered by The Head of the Table on two separate occasions in 2021 and it soon become public knowledge that Bryan had actually shockingly ran down his WWE contract, making him technically a free agent not long after being bested by Roman Reigns on April 30's SmackDown.

Then, in a move that just about no soul expected to see come to light just a few short months earlier, and despite WWE reportedly "pushing hard" to re-sign The American Dragon and even trying to forge a relationship with NJPW on the request of the star himself, Bryan Danielson only went and rocked up in Tony Khan's promotion at All Out 2021.

Faced with a similarly lucrative and creatively fulfilling scenario to the one potentially being offered up to the former WWE Champion, you'd have forgiven most for staying put in McMahon's empire. But Danielson wanted violence... and he most definitely got it.
