Bryan Danielson 'Fully Cleared' For AEW WrestleDream

Bryan Danielson has been given full clearance to wrestle at WrestleDream

The first ever All Elite Wrestling WrestleDream takes place on October 1, and is set to finally pit Bryan Danielson against Zack Sabre Jr. in a true technical wrestling dream match.

The match was originally set for Forbidden Door I in 2022 but Danielson was out injured, forcing ZSJ to take on a debuting Claudio Castagnoli instead. Heading into WrestleDream, Danielson is coming off two intense violent bloodbaths with Ricky Starks, and has not long returned from injury.

According to a report in the NYPost, Danielson has been ‘fully cleared’ to perform at WrestleDream, with it revealed that this will be the first match post-injury that he has been ‘fully’ cleared for. The American Dragon’s two wars with Starks were easier to get clearance for due to being gimmick matches as opposed to out-and-out wrestling bouts, with the shortcuts afforded by gimmicks allowing for easier clearance.

Danielson broke his arm during another dream bout - this time with Kazuchika Okada at Forbidden Door II in June - and he returned early post-surgery to help ease the burden on AEW following CM Punk’s firing after All In in August.
