He left a huge hole in weekly programming and PPVs.

He was coming off the Stardust run. I don't think anyone can blame him for being anti-WWE at that point.

I might be the only person who liked stardust. And his song was bad ***.

Cody definitely didn't half *** it, and it gave him a chance to get out of his shell and let loose with his personality. His in-ring style didn't really match well with that gimmick tho imo. He's never been super athletic or much of a high flyer, which would have fit Stardust more to me. But the personality he showed opened the door to the extreme heel gimmick he played after leaving WWE. He needed the volume turned up, and it did the trick.

So, the go home show was last night; Title Tuesday, in front of 1,700 people. This can't be the lead up to Danielson's last match...

Not only that, but a record low viewership of 329,000. Their previous low record was 462,000 back in 2021. It's crazy how AEW went from running the small arenas like that, to being able to get into bigger arenas that WWE uses and now they are back to small arenas. The Tacoma Dome for Wrestle Dream is set up for under 7500 people with less than a thousand tickets remaining.

So Bryan isn't even going to be having his final match in a big arena and full crowd.

Adam Cole has returned to get revenge on MJF for ... we're just gonna pretend he didn't turn on MJF, aren't we? Lol. Oh well. Maybe they'll just start the entire storyline over again. I'm just glad Cole is back.

It was indeed the Final Countdown.... Moxley chokes out Danielson and wins the AEW World Championship!

Edit: There it is, Wheeler turning on Danielson and apparently they are killing Danielson off lol.

I saw this on Reddit... Bryan's final matches were against all three members of The Shield. A real full circle moment given The Shield's first ever loss as a group was in a Tag Team Match where Bryan made Seth tap out.


Daniel Bryan's last match on RAW: Seth Rollins
Daniel Bryan's last match in WWE: Roman Reigns
Bryan Danielson's last match as a FULL TIME wrestler in AEW: Jon Moxley
