Update On Bryan Danielson's Reported Influence On Tony Khan & AEW Booking

Bryan Danielson has had a hand in AEW's creative department as of late, and according to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, he has become more important as of late in regards to that. 

The "American Dragon" has been described as someone that has added good input into any conversation regarding AEW booking, and he has been influencing Tony Khan himself. When the two men are in a room together, Danielson has been pushing Khan to thank harder and improve upon his thinking as he tends to add even more enthusiasm to Khan regarding this area of the business. 

The June 2 episode of "AEW Rampage" was an example of Danielson's creative abilities as he added to the overall outline of it being a Championship Friday show, and the fact that the episode was well received showcases the impact he has brought. It is a role that Danielson enjoys though, as he revealed during the post-Double Or Nothing media scrum. He admitted that he likes talking about wrestling and that he and Khan share a similar mindset when it comes to the business, with Danileson pushing to help the company grow not just in the ring but out as well. 

It isn't the first time he has had a hand in creative either, because he took up a role towards the end of his WWE run as well during the COVID-19 pandemic. Danielson would be part of meetings with the writing team, giving his input while getting exposure to that side of the wrestling business. 

Moving forward, the Blackpool Combat Club member is expected to be part of the team that is going to be providing creative input for AEW's new show "Collision." He is going to be working with Jerry Lynn, Christopher Daniels, and Dean Malenko, although Khan himself will still have the final say on matters.
