"I can't answer that question but I mean, it's fair for you to ask that question. It's not anything I can address on the Observer today but it's fair enough for you to ask it. He's one of the all-time greats," said Tony Khan. H/T: Sportskeeda

We also got a big update on Daniel Bryan's debut from Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live. According to Alvarez, he has been told by a source that Bryan will be making his first appearance for All Elite Wrestling at the All Out pay-per-view this weekend:

"Here's what I can tell you about Daniel Bryan. I have been told that he will debut at All Out," said Bryan Alvarez.

Alvarez's statement collaborates with what was reported by Cassidy Haynes of Bodyslam.net earlier this week. According to the report, those in AEW are worried about rising COVID numbers in the United States which is why Bryan's debut has been brought up from the Grand Slam edition of Dynamite at the Arthur Ashe Stadium on September 22nd.
