On July 12th, AEW will host its annual flagship event, coinciding with the weekend of major WWE shows. This year’s event marks the first time it will take place in a U.S. stadium, Globe Life Field in Texas, expecting over 20,000 fans and poised to be the most successful show outside of AEW’s Wembley events in the UK.
With such high anticipation, fans can likely expect some unexpected moments, potentially featuring appearances by iconic wrestling legends. Six former WWE superstars are rumored to show up, including Brian Danielson, a former AEW and WWE world champion. Danielson hasn’t been seen on AEW since losing his title to Jon Moxley at Wrestledream last year and stepping back from full-time wrestling. However, he recently made a surprise appearance on ROH programming, defending Blue Panther in Arena Mexico and confronting Shane Taylor, hinting at ongoing unresolved tensions with Moxley.
Could Danielson make a dramatic return in Texas, possibly even participating in the main event between Moxley and Adam Page? Fans remain eager to see if this wrestling legend will complete his story at AEW’s major Texas show.
Fan Take: This news is thrilling for WWE fans since it suggests that former WWE stars might continue to impact the wrestling scene outside of WWE, keeping long-standing rivalries alive and fresh. Such cross-promotional appearances could elevate AEW’s appeal and intensify competition in the sport, benefiting wrestling as a whole.
