Fans of a specific promotion often engage in a verbal battle with the other fanbase. It’s a normal sight in competitive combat sports. In fact, pro wrestling fans could be regarded as one of the most vocal fans. So much so that some pro wrestling fans recently bombarded a popular AEW wrestler for a statement he made that went against their interest.

This caused several active WWE fans on Twitter to light up the social media platform. The anger spiked because of what former WWE Champion Bryan Danielson said in a press conference while sitting with the AEW president, Tony Khan. Being an AEW superstar, Danielson pointed out a positive point about the company from his point of view.

What did the former WWE star say to anger the fans?

Bryan Danielson is not a new name in the pro wrestling industry. The star is pretty famously known for the time he served in WWE. Despite becoming a main event star there, he eventually left the company in 2021 after his contract expired. Later that year, he joined AEW and started his stardom anew.

When Danielson sat down in an AEW press conference with Tony Khan, he made a statement to praise the company.

While appreciating AEW’s hard work in their PPVs, Danielson said, “Try to name another company that’s had a run of PPVs like this.” Although the wrestler was probably just talking from his own point of view, his question didn’t sit right with the fans. This started an endless line of responses coming from angry wrestling fans.

Some even made the comparison as transparent as directly naming the companies they think have held better PPVs than AEW.
