Keep Up With Wrestling Excellence

Bitter farewell
But Danielson’s career took a new direction in 2024. He made it known that this was going to be his final year in professional wrestling, a choice that evoked feelings in fans and colleagues. During a recent airing of AEW Dynamite, Danielson verified that his contract will end on August 1st. The news has fans wondering if he will continue to play or if his contract is up and will stop him.
