Bryan Danielson will attend AEW All In 2025, in-ring status uncertain
Bryan Danielson will be in the building for AEW All In 2025 — but whether he’ll be able to compete in the ring is a different matter.
Though he’s been absent from AEW programming since his loss at WrestleDream, Danielson attended the company’s Countdown event on Monday to celebrate All In 2025 tickets going on sale. The pay-per-view is being held at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas on Saturday, July 12. Danielson addressed what his involvement in the event could look like.
“As for my participation at All In [next] year, I don’t know what that looks like,” he said. “I don’t know if I’ll be able to wrestle at that point. I don’t know if I’ll be able to wrestle again, to be quite honest. But there’s one thing that I can tell you for certain: I will be here. There is nothing that you could do to make me miss All In at Globe Life Field.”
Danielson ended his full-time wrestling career by losing the AEW World Championship to Jon Moxley at WrestleDream. After the match, there was an angle where Danielson was brutally attacked by Moxley and the Death Riders. Danielson has not fully retired from the ring, but he has a neck injury that could require surgery. When or if Danielson can return will be determined by the status of his neck.
All In 2024 was headlined by Danielson defeating Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Championship. That was Danielson’s favorite moment of his career because he had his wife and children at the show watching him.
As for All In 2025, Danielson will do whatever Tony Khan wants him to do. Danielson joked that he could call the show with Tony Schiavone.
“Whatever Tony Khan wants me to do, whether it’s — you know, I could commentate with you,” Danielson said. “Or even just helping backstage. I’m going to be there live to watch it, because this is going to be incredible.”
AEW’s first two All In PPVs were held at Wembley Stadium in London in 2023 and 2024. It’s now coming to Texas next year before returning to Wembley in 2026.
