Next August, AEW will return to London to hold All In 2024 at the iconic Wembley Stadium. Although there is still quite a bit of time left and the bouts are not close to being confirmed, it is anticipated that Bryan Danielson will be a part of the event, thus becoming one of the main attractions of the night.
Why is it such a big deal? That’s because Bryan Danielson recently confirmed that his contract with AEW ends shortly before All In. But what’s more interesting is that he might have hinted at a return to the WWE as well. And this surely has taken the internet by storm.

During a recent appearance on the TWC Show, Bryan Danielson confirmed that his contract ends before All In. Nonetheless, he expressed a desire to participate in the event, suggesting that both parties could reach a renewal agreement without complications.
In addition, he mentioned his interest in concluding his career as a full-time wrestler at WrestleDream, at the Tacoma Dome. And while he did say that he wishes to finish his full-time career with AEW, he would still be a part-time wrestler. And a ‘last match’ for AEW at WrestleDream surely signals a possible return to the WWE. He said, “The big one is Wembley (that is left on my wrestling checklist). I wanna make it to Wembley. My contract actually expires before Wembley. But I wanna make it to Wembley… I’m not sure if I’ll make it, but one thing that would be a nice way to kind of close everything out for me is to do my last match as a full-time wrestler at WrestleDream at the Tacoma Dome.”
Bryan Danielson reveals that his AEW contract is up before All In at Wembley Stadium:

Bryan Danielson has expressed his happiness about being a part of AEW on multiple occasions. He even suggested that he is likely to reach an agreement to continue wrestling for the Jacksonville-based promotion. And that too for at least several more years. However, it is likely that he will begin to appear less and less on shows, before becoming a part-time wrestler in no time. And since he would be a part-timer, an iron-clad contract seems to be somewhat out of the question. And the WWE is often known for bringing in part-timers. So it would be a better fit for Danielson. At least, that’s what the fans want.
Fans cannot wait for the American Dragon to return
As soon as the news of Danielson being a part-timer hit the internet, fans couldn’t help but share their reactions. And there was a common theme among them. And that was the impatience for the much-awaited return.

However, there were some fans who believed that for Danielson to make his WWE return, there would be certain conditions. One fan believed that he might return to a different role than a wrestler. Considering Danielson does not want to wrestle much owing to age and injuries.
HHH will convince Dean/Mox to come back one day. Daniel Bryan Danielson will only return to accept his HoF induction and POTENTIALLY a booker job/backstage role. He'll never wrestle for WWE again though

While another believes the condition would be to push him as a massive babyface. That shouldn’t be tough considering that’s a natural reaction to seeing him in the ring.
Dude really called Bryan Danielson a "temporary hype". If Bryan returns to WWE tomorrow, he would be the most over babyface in the industry. His stardom status is guaranteed and permanent.
