As a guest on Barstool Rasslin', Bryan Danielson revealed that he had discussions with Kevin Dunn of WWE about his plans for AEW and their insistence on respecting their intellectual property.
"I had a great conversation with Kevin Dunn of WWE before I debuted with AEW. And I was very upfront with WWE about, 'ok, I just want to let you guys know that I'm leaving, this being my debut date and all that kind of stuff.' But they asked me 'politely' to respect their intellectual property, even some of the things that couldn't be legally enforced. And I'm trying my best to do that." Danielson said.
Danielson also said even though fans have certain expectations and he's happy that they want to be part of it, he'll still do his best to avoid swinging his arms in the air referencing his signature 'YES!' chants.
