Bryan Danielson sent a heated message to AEW World Champion MJF.
Danielson and MJF have been feuding for months, as the champion took out Danielson's mentor William Regal with a brutal assault in November. Danielson then had to win a series of matches against names like Jonosuke Takeshita, Timothy Thatcher, Brian Cage, and Bandido to earn a title shot against MJF. Despite MJF's best efforts to stop Danielson, "The American Dragon" emerged victorious, and the two are set to clash in an Iron Man Match at AEW Revolution.
At the end of the March 1 episode of AEW Dynamite, Danielson came to the ring to discuss the match. MJF tried to interrupt him, but Danielson talked over him in order to deliver his message. Danielson brought up MJF's promo from the February 22 episode of AEW Dynamite, where he revealed that his fiance left him. In the same promo, he stated that he hated the challenger because he had a family and took it for granted.
Danielson said that MJF deserved to have his fiance leave him, and he hadn't fought for anything in his life. Danielson then stated that he has been fighting for his whole life, he's ready to fight for what he wants, and if MJF doesn't do the same, he's going to get his head kicked in at AEW Revolution.
The TBS broadcast censored message, but other viewers were able to see his bold words.

The line was a callback to Danielson's days of kicking people's heads in and being widely viewed as the best wrestler in the world in the Ring of Honor chapter of his career.
During his promo, Danielson also referenced fighting The Authority during the WWE run, and the crowd chanted "Yes!" in support of the challenger. MJF was seemingly too stunned to speak, so he left the stage, and the show ended with Danielson standing tall.
