5-time WWE world champion's return officially announced

A certain multi-time WWE World Champion will be making his in-ring return after dealing with an injury over the past month. This will be part of AEW's Continental Classic Tournament. The former champion in question is Bryan Danielson.

Last month, The American Dragon sustained an injury. This was previously reported to be during his tag team match against Orange Cassidy and Kazuchika Okada. The real reason came from his match a few days before with Andrade El Idolo, as there was an inadvertent shot to his orbital bone.

Earlier tonight, it was revealed that on the next episode of Collision, Bryan Danielson would be making his in-ring return against Eddie Kingston as part of the Blue League of the tournament.

This will be Kingston's second match of the tournament, following a loss to Brody King earlier tonight.

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.

Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
