VIDEO: Bryan Danielson appears, gets physical at ROH x CMLL Global Wars

As part of Wednesday’s AEW Grand Slam Mexico at Arena Mexico, there were several matches taped before and after the broadcast for a future Ring of Honor vs. CMLL Global Wars show.

The big headline coming out of the proceedings was an appearance by former AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson who came out to aid Blue Panther at the end of the final match, video of which is below.

Danielson was in the crowd with Chris Hero during Tuesday’s AEW & ROH vs. CMLL show. It was his first appearance since losing the AEW World title to Jon Moxley at last October’s WrestleDream.

  • ROH TV Champion Nick Wayne vs. Titan went to a draw
  • CMLL Universal Amazons Champion Persephone & Thunder Rosa defeated ROH Women’s World Champion Athena & ROH Women’s TV Champion Red Velvet
  • Blue Panther defeated ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty (with The Infantry & Shane Taylor) in a non-title match

After Panther’s victory, The Infantry and Taylor beat down Panther. As Taylor was about to deliver a top rope splash, Danielson came out to lead the way for Hologram and others to make the save. Danielson closed out the save by nailing Taylor with his running knee strike, hugging Panther afterward.

Danielson faced Blue Panther twice in the spring of 2024, once in an eight-man tag match and then in a singles submission match — both at Arena Mexico.

Danielson addressed the crowd, thanking them and saying AEW loves Mexico and he loves Blue Panther. Before he left, Justin Roberts said they wanted the fans to have a final singalong and “The Final Countdown” played to close the night.
