ByThomas LowsonProfessional Wrestling Journalist

The AEW World Championship reign of Bryan Danielson ended at AEW WrestleDream in unpleasant fashion, at the hand of new champion Jon Moxley. In a brutal main event, Danielson was deemed unable to compete after being trapped in a chokehold and was attacked after the match by Moxley and his allies.

Danielson had vowed that his full-time career in the ring would end when he lost the AEW World Championship. On Twitter, many names associated with AEW shared their appreciation for the American Dragon.
