Danielson has been retired from full-time competition since October of last year, when the former AEW World Champion was dethroned and viciously beaten by Jon Moxley at AEW WrestleDream. Danielson has since appeared in cameo appearances. Danielson wrestled in June, defeating Max Caster in Caster’s open challenge, and also appeared at AEW All In to help Hangman Page defeat Moxley for the world title. Danielson began doing guest commentary appearances earlier this year, on the August 20 edition of “Dynamite” and then again at the Forbidden Door PPV on August 24.
