In a new post on social media, Bryan Danielson issued a challenge to Kazuchika Okada, wanting to face him at AEW Dynamite Fifth Anniversary with the AEW World Title on the line.
Danielson said he wants to be a fighting champion because he's fighting for his idea of what he wants to be as AEW World Champion.
Also, "Fuck Jon Moxley."
