Daniel Bryan had to retire from pro wrestling in 2016 due to concussion-related injuries that he had sustained during his career. Hence, despite returning to the ring, it's imperative for him to preserve his body and AEW's lighter schedule compared to WWE would facilitate that.

All Elite Wrestling runs three hours of televised wrestling every week, Dynamite on Wednesday and Rampage on Friday. AEW rarely has their biggest stars compete in consecutive weeks, and appearances on Dark or Dark: Elevation are even more rare. Moreover, the promotion runs just four pay-per-views a year, unlike WWE that has one every month.

Daniel Bryan is a wrestling treasure and using him judiciously is essential, therefore a less hectic schedule would suit him perfectly.


#3. Daniel Bryan will help nurture AEW's young stars

Ad

AEW has some incredibly talented people on their roster like Jungle Boy, Darby Allin, MJF, Adam Page, and Sammy Guevara. All four of them, among others, will have great careers.

Daniel Bryan had a backstage role in WWE during his retirement and is known to put the pro wrestling business before his own interests. Apart from learning from arguably the greatest in-ring technician in the world, the company's young superstars will get an opportunity to share TV time and perhaps go over Bryan.

Be it from an in-ring standpoint, or perfecting their craft backstage, his presence will be a huge boon for AEW's future.
