With Jay and Mark Briscoe already announced as part of the inaugural class of Ring of Honor's Hall of Fame, Dem Boys are to be joined by Bryan Danielson.

ROH took to their own website to announce the American Dragon as the next confirmed inductee into the company's new HOF.

For those only familiar with Danielson for his tenures in WWE and AEW, the Washington native has huge history with Ring of Honor. Main eventing the first ever ROH show back in 2002 against Low Ki and Christopher Daniels, Bryan would have an iconic 462-day run as the ROH World Champion from September 2005 to December 2006.

Danielson would remain with ROH until 2009, with him at that point signing with WWE. The future Yes! Man's final match for Ring of Honor was at ROH Glory By Honor VIII: The Final Countdown, where he defeated long-time rival Nigel McGuinness.

As part of this Hall of Fame announcement, ROH confirmed that a career retrospective on Danielson's time with the promotion will be featured on this weekend's episode of ROH TV. In addition to that, the 40-year-old will be spotlighted in a YouTube special that the company will release on Monday 14 February.
