#4. Edge took a shot at AEW on WWE RAW

Edge confronted The Miz on RAW this week and took a shot at AEW during his promo. In case you missed it, The A-Lister was referenced on Dynamite last week, with CM Punk calling MJF a "less famous Miz".

The Rated-R Superstar referenced this during his promo, saying that "other shows" were namedropping The Miz for cheap reactions:

"You have people on other shows saying your name just to get a cheap reaction!" said Edge.

Several other WWE Superstars were referenced to during Punk and MJF's promo battle including John Cena and Triple H.

#3. Jim Cornette compares AEW Dynamite moment to John Cena at ECW One Night Stand 2006

Jim Cornette recently reviewed last week's AEW Dynamite on his podcast, The Jim Cornette Experience.

While talking about the main event and how one fan in the crowd threw AEW star Cody Rhodes' belt back at him, Cornette compared it to what happened with John Cena at ECW One Night Stand 2006:

"Cody took his weight belt off and threw it into the crowd, and the crowd grabbed it, and a guy threw it back into the ring, and that got the biggest pop of the match. They came unglued when the crowd threw the belt back. I seem to remember the crowd throwing something back on the Dynamic Dudes one time. When they had the ECW pay-per-view, they threw Cena’s [tshirt] back. It’s happened a few times through history but the joyousness…it wasn’t even a cheer pop, it was laughing and happy pop," said Jim Cornette.

Cena faced Rob Van Dam at the event and the fans in attendance were fully behind RVD. Before the match, The Leader of the Cenation threw his shirt into the crowd about five times, with the fans throwing it back at him each time.

#2. AEW's Chris Jericho on never wrestling Bret Hart

Chris Jericho was recently interviewed by Danhausen on his YouTube channel, Love That Danhausen.

During the interview, Jericho was asked about which wrestling great he had never gotten the chance to work with and the former AEW World Champion named WWE and WCW legend Bret Hart:

"I never got to work with Bret Hart. That's a little surprising. I'd have loved to have had a match with Bret Hart. I would have loved to have had a match with Frank Gotch or George Hackenschmidt but by the time I got into the business, they were already in their 30s and 40s."

"Other than that, Bret Hart is the big one that I'd have loved to have had a match with. We were in WCW at the same time but he wouldn't give me the time of day at that point. I was very very low level," said Chris Jericho.

Bret Hart made one solitary appearance in All Elite Wrestling at their first pay-per-view, presenting the AEW World Championship belt.

#1. AEW's Bryan Danielson opens up about William Regal's influence on his career

AEW star Bryan Danielson was recently a guest on Casual Conversations. He opened up about how NXT General Manager William Regal has helped him through his career and the helpful advice he has received from Regal over the years:

"My mentor William Regal (...) such a great mentor for my entire career. But he said (...) a lot of people get hung up on the not getting pushed or they're not getting opportunity issue. Whatever it is, you have to look at it in a certain way, and like any opportunity you get, you have to grab it. If you do not gain opportunities, just take this as all the hard work that you put in before this, that paycheck that you get every week like that's what this is, where you set up yourself financially for the future, you know what I mean."

"And I mean, that's advice coming from a man with a family. I wasn't in a place to listen to it and really hear it. Now it's like, what great advice. You're setting yourself up to be financially independent for the rest of your life," Bryan Danielson said.

Danielson is the current No.1 contender for the AEW World Championship. We don't yet have a date for his showdown with world champion Hangman Page but the Battle of the Belts special in January seems the likely date.
