Bryan Danielson is always ready to step up.
Bryan Danielson wasn't originally scheduled to face Ricky Starks at AEW All Out, but he stepped up when called upon. Starks was reportedly slated to face CM Punk at AEW All Out, but Punk was involved in a backstage incident at AEW All In that ultimately led to his contract being terminated by the company.
Danielson was announced as Starks' opponent on AEW Collision the night before AEW All Out.
Speaking at the AEW All Out press conference, Danielson was asked about stepping up in replace of Punk.
"One of the ethics that I believe in is you step up when you need to step up. It's interesting when you're crossing between real life and story, but we as the BCC [Blackpool Combat Club], as a collective, who are real friends, we take stepping up seriously, whether that is in story or real life. Nobody is a better example of that than Jon Moxley, who has stepped up every time we've needed him to. I just see it as a way of life for us. 'If you need us, if something needs to happen,Tony [Tony Khan], I can do this.' Mox will say, 'I can do this.' There is nothing that Tony needs that we won't do for him. That goes with creative, with doing the match [at All Out], anything like that," said Danielson.
Danielson was victorious in his bout against Starks.
During the press conference, Danielson praised Starks for carrying him through the match as it was Danielson's first match in over two months due to a broken arm. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
