Will Daniel Bryan have an even bigger AEW debut than CM Punk?

Daniel Bryan could turn out to be the biggest signing for AEW for 2021 in the months to come. AEW has already signed several former WWE legends in recent months, and CM Punk’s recent debut for the company turned out to be a massive hit.

Now that Punk is back in the wrestling ring, fans can’t help but wait for Daniel Bryan to return too. Rumors suggest that The Yes Man is AEW bound, and he could make his debut as early as the upcoming All Out event.

A report released by Cassidy Haynes of Bodyslam.net, states that Daniel Bryan’s AEW debut has been fast-tracked amidst COVID-19 related mandates in New York.

"After speaking with multiple sources within AEW, I can now confirm that the company has upped plans for Bryan Danielson’s debut. The new plan I was told is for Danielson to debut at AEW’s All Out PPV on September 5th, 2021. I had initially heard this rumor a couple weeks back, but was able to confirm the plan with multiple sources."

The Yes Man could turn out to be the biggest signing for the company after CM Punk’s recent debut. Both the former WWE Champions could help take the company to a whole new level and up the ratings of the promotion.

With that in mind, take a look at the five ways in which Daniel Bryan could debut for AEW at All Out.


#5. Daniel Bryan could make a CM Punk type debut at AEW All Out

CM Punk made his return to the wrestling ring for AEW not too long ago. Punk last competed in the wrestling ring during the 2014 WWE Royal Rumble. The Second City Savior made a fantastic debut at AEW Rampage and cut a heartfelt promo to announce his return.

Similarly, Daniel Bryan competed in his last match for WWE not too long ago. Just like Punk, Bryan could also take the standard route back to the ring by coming out at AEW All Out after the final match of the night.

Once fans are sure that nothing more is left in the show, the company could give the audience a huge surprise once again. The Planet’s Champion could walk out to cut a promo just like CM Punk and announce his arrival to AEW.

Daniel Bryan could then challenge one of the company's younger stars to a match at an upcoming event.

Promos have usually been the best way to make a return or build some top rivalries. Daniel Bryan could choose the tried and tested method to get back to the ring just like The Best in the World did.

#4. Daniel Bryan could come out to challenge Miro for the AEW TNT Championship at All Out

Daniel Bryan could look to make a different type of impact at AEW All Out. The former WWE Champion will be looking to do something different than CM Punk, and the creative team will likely strap a rocket to his back.

Miro and Bryan are no strangers to each other. The two men have faced each other several times in the WWE ring. They could look to reignite a previous rivalry on a whole new stage to give the fans something different.

Miro is a monster in AEW who is currently holding the TNT Championship. He will defend his title against Eddie Kingston at All Out.

If Miro retains his title at the event, AEW could allow Daniel Bryan to come out to surprise the fans and challenge Miro to a title match. The angle will allow Bryan to work against a familiar foe first-up and also give him a championship match right away.

Bryan has competed in some top matches against larger opponents as the underdog. This could turn out to be a great way to introduce him to AEW and get him into a big rivalry.

#3. Daniel Bryan could attack Sting at AEW All Out

Daniel Bryan has faced almost all the former WWE Superstars working in AEW today. But there is still one man on the AEW roster who has never gone toe-to-toe with The Planet’s Champion.

The legendary Sting has been around in AEW for some time now and has had a few good matches. Bryan could look to go up against the legend right away and give fans a dream match that they never saw coming.

Sting will likely be in Darby Allin’s corner during his match against CM Punk at AEW All Out. Daniel Bryan could look to make an appearance during the contest and attack Sting to distract Allin and allow Punk to pick up the win.

The angle would allow Bryan to get a couple of solo matches against Sting in the AEW ring. That will help AEW up its ratings and give something entirely new to its fans.

It would also allow the creative team to pair up the two former WWE Champions to take on Sting and Allin in tag team action for one of the biggest matches of all time.

#2. Daniel Bryan could demand a dream match against Kenny Omega at AEW All Out

The TNT Championship will not be the only title in Daniel Bryan’s crosshair if he shows up at AEW All Out. AEW World Champion Kenny Omega will also defend his title against Christian Cage at the show.

Omega has been one of the best in-ring workers in the world, and fans have been waiting for him to face Daniel Bryan in the wrestling ring. The two men have competed in PWG in the past but have never competed at this level against each other before.

AEW could look to pounce on the opportunity and bring Daniel Bryan out if Kenny Omega retains his title against Christian at All Out. Bryan could interrupt Omega’s victory celebration and challenge him to a title match at an upcoming show.

This could draw the biggest pop of the night as many fans can’t wait to see Daniel Bryan and Omega go head to head once again. It could turn out to be the perfect first rivalry for The Yes Man and could give the company’s ratings a massive boost.

#1. Daniel Bryan could come out to challenge Darby Allin at AEW All Out

Daniel Bryan could remain at the back and watch CM Punk and Darby Allin put on a clinic at AEW All Out. Allin could turn out to be the perfect first opponent for Punk back in the wrestling ring.

AEW could continue to book Allin strongly and give him a massive victory over The Best in the World at All Out. The company could then bring out The Planet’s Champion during Allin’s victory celebration.

Daniel Bryan could come out and cut a promo with Darby Allin in the ring before challenging him to a match. This could be the perfect way to make Bryan debut on the AEW roster.

CM Punk will walk into All Out as the favorite to win considering he’s the bigger star who will be making his in-ring return after a long time. However, he could take the loss to open the door for another former WWE Champion to return to challenge Allin.

The angle will give Darby Allin a massive push in AEW and allow him to work with another wrestler who is known to be the best in the world.
