Bryan Danielson On How He and Jon Moxley Have Stepped Up For AEW

During the media scrum after AEW All Out (via Fightful), Bryan Danielson spoke about stepping up for AEW, something he and Jon Moxley have done after setbacks. Danielson returned from injury to face Ricky Starks in a match that had been rumored for CM Punk. Punk, however, was fired. Moxley ended up main eventing that same show, which the Punk match was originally intended to do.

Danielson said: “One of the ethics that I believe in is you step up when you need to step up. It’s interesting when you’re crossing between real life and story, but we as the BCC [Blackpool Combat Club], as a collective, who are real friends, we take stepping up seriously, whether that is in story or real life. Nobody is a better example of that than Jon Moxley, who has stepped up every time we’ve needed him to. I just see it as a way of life for us. ‘If you need us, if something needs to happen,Tony [Tony Khan], I can do this.’ Mox will say, ‘I can do this.’ There is nothing that Tony needs that we won’t do for him. That goes with creative, with doing the match [at All Out], anything like that.“
