Bryan Danielson and Justin Roberts shared a moment after AEW Dynamite went off the air.
On the June 7, 2010 episode of WWE Raw, The Nexus made an immediate impact by destroying John Cena and the ringside area. Bryan Danielson (Daniel Bryan in WWE) was part of the Nexus at the time and as part of the segment, choked Justin Roberts with his tie.
The incident led to Danielson being fired by WWE, though he was brought back in August for SummerSlam.
Following Wednesday's AEW Dynamite, Danielson and Roberts decided to recreate the moment with Danielson making sure his new boss Tony Khan had his attention elsewhere so he wouldn't get fired again.
