Daniel Bryan recently talked about whether he would be using his famous "Yes!" chants in AEW on the heels of his debut at All Out 2021.
Appearing on AEW Media Scrum, Daniel Bryan was asked about his feelings when the Chicago crowd started chanting "Yes!". Bryan was also quizzed on whether he would use the sign himself in the promotion.
The latest AEW signee stated that he felt great when the fans began the chants. However, Bryan added that he was unsure about using the sign himself since its rights may belong to Vince McMahon's promotion.
The former WWE Champion further said that he respects his former employers and wouldn't do anything that contradicts his beliefs.
"Bryan: I mean, it was awesome. I don't know. I guess we're gonna have to talk about it, whether I can do it or not do. So, I don't know if that's possible. One of the things that I do try to respect is because like I said, I appreciate the people I worked for before and respecting their intellectual property and that sort of thing. And so, try making sure I don't contradict any of that. Fans doing it is great, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it."
AEW chief Tony Khan stated that one couldn't completely rule out the possibility of Daniel Bryan using the "Yes!" chants in the promotion. He added that there's a chance it may not be the intellectual property of WWE.
Tony Khan: Not that we are saying that it's necessarily their intellectual property. But if it were then..."
