Bryan Danielson Teases Future Match With Nigel McGuinness, Says He'd Break His Neck

Bryan Danielson has competed in the main event of the last two AEW pay-per-views, and it's almost certain that he'll have a high-profile match at All In in London. When asked during the post Double or Nothing media scrum about the possibility of facing Nigel McGuinness in Wembley Stadium, Danielson had doubts the former Ring of Honor Champion could keep up.

"I think Nigel McGuinness probably needs to shut his mouth a little bit. I don't think at this point in his life he can handle the same intensity he could in 2006. [...] I think the world of him as a wrestler, and I think the world of him as a commentator," Danielson said.

"He no longer has the physical ability to match up with me. He did at one point. But here I am ... I'm 42 years old and it doesn't matter. I train so hard to stay like this, he stopped training. Do you think you can catch back up in three months? No, you can't. I look at his neck, and I think I'd break it," argued the AEW star

McGuinness recently made his return to ROH and also signed with AEW. In addition to filing a trademark on his ring name, he has expressed some interest in a return to the ring for AEW's All In.

Before finishing up his time at the media scrum, Danielson lavished praise on McGuinness, "What I said may have sounded like an insult, you switch a couple of things around, Nigel McGuinness would be right here as a however-many-time world champion instead of me. There are some things that are hard work, and some things are partially luck too."
