Bryan Danielson wants the Blackpool Combat Club to stay together.
Speaking with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Danielson discussed the real connection that links the members of the group. He stated that they make each other better. Danielson also noted that the group has stayed strong following William Regal's departure, and he revealed that Regal is still in their group chat.
“Our connection as a group feels real. That’s because it is. The story is we train together and we make each other better. The reality is that wrestling together, we do make each other better. Even when Regal left, we didn’t break, and he’s still on our BCC group chat," Danielson said.
Danielson went on to make it clear that he loves Blackpool Combat Club, and he believes it should be a group that never breaks up. He noted that there weren't even any disturbances when he and Moxley faced each other in the Grand Slam Tournament of Champions in the fall of 2022. Danielson stated that when the Blackpool Combat Club loses, they shake hands and get back to work.
“I love this group. This should be a group that never breaks up. Mox and I have wrestled since the BCC started, we wrestled in the championship tournament [last fall]. That didn’t cause any disturbances in the BCC. That’s the story of the BCC. When the BCC loses, we’ll shake hands and go back to training the next day," Danielson said.
Danielson has been sidelined due to an arm injury he suffered at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door. Tony Khan recently stated that he's confident Danielson will return in a matter of months. Click here to see what he had to say.
