Overview

• Danielson said he discovered the move at the same time as fans after receiving a text and seeing Khan’s social media post announcing it.
• Khan cited Danielson’s strong work on the Forbidden Door broadcast and his global expertise as reasons to formalize the commentary role.
• In new interviews, Danielson questioned WWE’s counter-programming of AEW events and asserted his view that AEW pays roughly 40–50% of revenue to wrestlers.
• Recovering from neck issues, Danielson expressed doubt he can meet AEW’s current in-ring bar and suggested any future wrestling would be occasional indie appearances, while reiterating he honored AEW over a late 2021 overture from Vince McMahon.
