The former WWE chairman, Vince McMahon, allegedly contacted Bryan Danielson before his high-profile move to AEW.
This contact, according to wrestling veteran Teddy Long, was likely a test of Danielson's commitment and loyalty.
Danielson, a highly decorated wrestler, ultimately chose AEW, ignoring any perceived pressure from McMahon.
The situation reveals the intense rivalry and complex negotiations within professional wrestling's power structure.
