4 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Rampage (18 May - Results & Review)

3. Bryan Danielson’s Promo

Is Bryan Danielson walking into a disaster zone?

Claudio Castagnoli has been showing genuine concern for how risky this 'Anarchy In The Arena' situation at Double Or Nothing is for his friend. It's clear Claudio thinks Bryan is giving The Elite everything they want here, and might be handing them his head on a silver platter. The whole bounty angle on Collision adds credibility to that argument.

The Elite put out a hunt on 'Team AEW'. The Righteous and Lance Archer tried to collect the bounty by seemingly injuring FTR towards the end of the episode. Come Rampage, Danielson cut a spirited promo about all of this, and pointed out that he's very much still standing. Come get him, Bucks and cronies.

Bryan's speech won't win any 'Promo Of The Year' awards come December, but it was a neat link in the chain for Double Or Nothing. He's egging The Elite on, which is a dangerous game considering their recent actions. Claudio can see what's lurking around the corner, and he doesn't like that his mate is charging head first into it.
