As Danielson commemorated his triumph, Killswitch originated from behind and assaulted him. A couple of minutes later on, Christian Cage walked down the ramp with the remainder of the Patriarchy.
Commentators hypothesized that Cage might be capitalizing his Casino Gauntlet Match triumph at All In for AEW World Championship title shot. Jon Moxley then stepped in between The Patriarchy and the ring. The remainder of the Blackpool Combat Club joined him.
The team then signed up with Danielson in the ring, raising his hands in triumph. In a sensational turn of occasions, Claudio Castagnoli uppercut punched Danielson, and Moxley choked him with a plastic bag. Pac then held Wheeler Yuta back from safeguarding Danielson. Marina Shafir likewise participated the action.

Due to the graphic nature of the attack on Bryan Danielson, we will not be sharing the video. AEW does not excuse such actions.
Ultimately, that quartet took its leave, and medics and Yuta took care of the champ.
Danielson made his AEW launching in 2021, and although he made it clear throughout much of his period in the business that he had no interest in ending up being world champ, he was thrust into the title scene ahead of All In.
Contending in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, Danielson beat Shingo Takagi, Pac and “Hangman” Adam Page to win it and end up being No. 1 competitor for the AEW World Championship.
That set the phase for an All In match in between Danielson and then-champion Swerve Strickland at Wembley Stadium in London, and to include much more intrigue, Danielson’s profession was on the line.
Danielson and Strickland participated in a compelling fight that saw The American Dragon get busted open, and the existence of Danielson’s other half and kids at ringside added to the drama.
In the end, Danielson made Swerve send, triggering an enormous event amongst Danielson, his household and the Wembley faithful.
On the occurring episode of Dynamite, Danielson stated he would continue as a full-time wrestler for as long as he was champ, and he stated that he would handle all oppositions.
