Folks, gather ‘round because we’ve got something huge happening on AEW Dynamite. Whether Bryan Danielson walks away from the ring with a championship belt or a gold watch, it’s clear that his legendary career is nearing its end. And Tony Khan, the man with a plan (and apparently a pretty deep playlist), has cooked up something special to honor the Dragon himself!
Earlier this Tuesday, Khan took to X—formerly known as Twitter, back when we kept things short and sweet—to announce that tomorrow night’s AEW Dynamite will feature a special tribute to Danielson. And we’re not talking about just a few highlights thrown together—oh no, this is big league. The tribute is a high-octane video package set to the tune of Green Day’s “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life).” That’s right, folks, the ultimate anthem of endings, guaranteed to make you feel all the feelings.
Now, if you’re wondering why Khan chose that song, let me tell you, it’s almost like destiny. Just as the news was breaking, Danielson was out there chatting with Kerrang!, laying down his life’s playlist. And what do you know? “Good Riddance” topped his list of funeral tunes! Did Tony get the idea from this interview? We may never know, but I’ll tell you, it’s genius.
But before we all get too sentimental, let’s not forget that Danielson has some business left to handle. While he’s being showered with praise, his All In opponent, Swerve Strickland, will be stepping into the ring with Danielson’s protégé and Blackpool Combat Club buddy, Wheeler Yuta. Strickland, always one to stir the pot, demanded this “warm up” match after Danielson’s impressive win over Jeff Jarrett. It’s sure to be a night of high emotions and even higher stakes.
So, tune in tomorrow night, because it’s going to be a tribute fit for a legend and a night full of action. Danielson’s career may be winding down, but if we know anything about him, it’s that he’ll go out with a bang, not a whimper. And folks, you won’t want to miss it!
