During one episode of WWE Raw back in 2010, the NXT superstars, which included Bryan Danielson, attacked Roberts. It was also the first season of the developmental brand of WWE.

It was during that segment that their infamous “tie choke” moment took place. Roberts was strangled with his own tie by Bryan. However, Bryan had to pay a price for it as well. WWE released Bryan soon after this incident, as they felt it was too violent for their TV-PG programming. But WWE rehired him two months later.

After putting up an impressive fight, Miro defeated Cassidy to qualify for the final match against Bryan Danielson.

Much to the surprise of the fans, it was Miro who got the better of Bryan in that match. Thus, Bryan will surely have revenge on his mind when they face each other at the AEW Full Gear PPV. Whatever the result might be, one thing is for sure that the AEW fans will be in for one hell of a match on that night.
