Bryan Danielson Recalls Time AEW Programming Aired Opposite WWE :-AEW wrestler Bryan Danielson made a joke on the AEW Title Tuesday edition of Dynamite going head-to-head with a loaded episode of WWE NXT that featured John Cena, The Undertaker, and other notable wrestlers during this week’s SXSW 2024 event, which was titled “Disrupting the Long-Monopolized Pro Wrestling Industry.”

On how everyone looked at the Title Tuesday vs. NXT show:
- That show was something that I believe everyone in the group was quite proud of. This is what I believe, and it is likely that Tony’s take on the matter from a business point of view is different from mine.
- I do not always pay attention to what the other businesses in the industry are doing. With regard to that specific evening, I did not feel concerned about it. Focus on what we are most good at, that is my thing.
- We approach things in a unique manner, and our audience adores the way that we approach things. Let’s not worry about what’s happening on a different channel and instead focus on the things that we are capable of doing very well and putting on the finest show we can.
On how people will tune in if you put on an excellent wrestling show:
- “In all honesty, it’s not just that particular Tuesday night,” she said. It’s Wednesday every week, and you’re trying to overcome something every single week. There are other shows that you are competing against.
- The addiction that people have to their phones and other stuff is something that you are fighting against. In many can you maintain people’s attention? Every time I think about it, I find myself returning to the concept of quality.
- One of the things that I mentioned when I first joined AEW was that if you put on a professional wrestling show that is of high quality, then people would watch it. Each week, that is the objective. Produce a professional wrestling presentation that is of the highest caliber.
On the match not being the main event:
- There is no way that Will Ospreay and I will be the primary attraction at Dynasty. The nature of the show can be inferred from this information.
- I have a sneak peek at some of the different things that are going to be happening, and I believe that people are going to be incredibly enthusiastic about them.
On Ospreay:
- “It is apparent that he has always been dynamic, but at this point in time, he is putting together the complete package of what a contemporary professional wrestler ought to incorporate. He possesses such a magnificent understanding of what the contemporary fan of professional wrestling desires.
- I believe that the majority of those who criticize him are members of the older guard. There are some who condemn him. When I see him, I believe that he is the best wrestler in the world for followers of modern wrestling, in terms of what they appreciate best about the sport.
- I am not a firm believer in the notion that my perspective on professional wrestling is superior than any other. What the younger generation feels about professional wrestling and what encourages them is something that I am very eager in learning about.
- Professional wrestling has progressed to the point where Will Ospreay is it. If Will Ospreay desired to compete against Bryan Danielson, he would be able to do so.
- It would be impossible for me to perform the same way as Will Ospreay does during a match. I do not believe that there is anyone else in the entire world who is capable of doing that. I am incredibly pleased about this match because of that.
