AEW Grand Slam: Daniel Bryan, Sting to compete; Full card revealed

Bengaluru, September 16: All Elite Wrestling will host a special episode of AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam next week when former WWE Champion Daniel Bryan (now going by the name of Bryan Danielson) will make his AEW in-ring debut.

On this week’s Dynamite, AEW World Champion Kenny Omega and Bryan Danielson confronted in the ring for the second week in a row. Bryan first came out to the ring to a massive pop from the crowd and was quickly interrupted by Omega and Don Callis, who went on to insult Bryan.

Bryan responded to Callis with insults of his own and demanded to talk to Kenny Omega one-on-one instead. He then proceeded to challenge Omega, to a match, affirming that it’s not a good time to have the AEW World Championship on the line.

Bryan just wanted to have a match with Omega to see who the better competitor is between the two. Omega hesitated a bit but then accepted the challenge to confirm this dream match for professional wrestling fans.

Legendary Sting was also booked for AEW Grand Slam. In this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Darby Allin defeated Shawn Spears. After the match, FTR attacked Darby and Sting.
