Following the conclusion of the fifth anniversary episode of Dynamite, AEW World champion Bryan Danielson talked to the fans in a speech to mark the special occasion.

Danielson thanked AEW President Tony Khan, who he said without him, there would be no alternative. He said that because of Tony Khan, AEW exists which is better for the wrestlers, better for production people, and better for fans.

He then thanked the crowd in Pittsburgh.

“I first wrestled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 23 years ago,” Danielson said. “And I don’t know if you guys remember, but you were the crowd that made me into a WrestleMania main-eventer. So I just wanted to say thank you, Pittsburgh!”

Danielson then thanked the boys and girls in the back because they’re the ones who made this place great. He said he had a lifetime job with WWE and he chose to come to AEW because that’s where the best wrestlers in the world are, it’s where the best fans in the world are, and AEW is the best wrestling company in the world.

The champion ended the speech by promising that come WrestleDream, he will “kick Jon Moxley’s f*cking head in!”
