Bryan Danielson may no longer be a WWE Superstar, but that didn\'t stop him from using an old WWE catchphrase of his at a recent event for CMLL.
At the event, Danielson was part of Team AEW (Bryan, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, & Matt Sydal) and came up short against Team CMLL (Blue Panther, Ultimo Guerrero, Mistico, & Volador Jr.) During one spot, Danielson and Mistico (aka WWE\'s Sin Cara) shared dueling chants reminiscent of Bryan\'s time as a Superstar.

What\'s Next?
After the match, Danielson issued a challenge to Blue Panther for next Friday night\'s Arena Mexico show on April 5, which Panther accepted. This has been a match that Danielson has called a dream match in the past. He recently called Pather his favorite luchador of all time.

Yes! No!
Bryan began using the Yes chant following his 2011 WWE World Heavyweight Championship victory. Not long after winning the title, Bryan\'s ego would grow, causing him to yell \"YES!\" and celebrate even the smallest of victories in over-the-top fashion.
After his 18-second World Heavyweight Championship loss to Sheamus at WrestleMania 28, a dejected Bryan changed his tune. Bryan blamed the fans (and AJ Lee) for his loss and in response to the crowd being on board with the yes chant, would chant \"NO!\" in response.
Bringing Back the Chant
This isn\'t the first time that Bryan has embraced his WWE catchphrases. Following a December 2023 edition of AEW Collision, the crowd chanted \"YES\" for Bryan, who admitted he\'s not allowed to do that anymore. Thinking better of it, Danielson decided to join in with the YES! chant and sarcastically told fans to definitely not record the moment in question.
