5 Reasons why Bryan Danielson is AEW's best signing of 2021

#4 Bryan Danielson is proficient on the mic

Bryan Danielson's skills with the mic had been established well before he started his career in AEW. The All Elite audience got a taste of his speaking talent with his perfectly executed promo setting him up against Hangman Adam Page.

While Bryan Danielson has admitted to not being on the level of the Rock when it comes to talking on the mic, he is still a formidable speaker. the American Dragon has come a long way, and he still has time to grow. Furthermore, AEW is fresh new ground that benefits greatly from the likes of Bryan cutting effective promos.

#3 Bryan Danielson is a subtly brilliant performer as a heel too

Surprisingly for many, the American Dragon turned heel after he came into the ring to congratulate Page on winning the AEW World Championship.

As Jim Cornette puts it, Bryan's heel turn was seamless and brilliant. The segment between the American Dragon and Hangman firmly established the heel turn, but what was impressive about how Danielson played his part so well that the crowds were booing him by the time it ended.

Further down the line, Bryan's dismantling of the Dark Order also saw him acting like a jerk and flaunting an attitude worthy of a villain. From a Babyface that gets cheered by every fan, Danielson very skillfully turned the masses against him. A performer that can play both roles is a huge asset for AEW.
