Former AEW and WWE World Champion Bryan Danielson was recently asked about which moment -- his WrestleMania 30 win or his championship win against Swerve Strickland at All In -- was the best of his career.
In an interview with Jamal Niaz, Bryan said that All In was the more special moment, due to a number of factors.
"Oh, definitely All In at Wembley Stadium. The real reason behind that is because of the things surrounding the event itself. Like having my family there. Like my wife and kids being able to get in the ring with me, and knowing that my career was coming to an end, it just felt awesome, and it just felt something like I was grateful for even happening," Danielson said.
And while the moment was special for Bryan Danielson, it also meant a great deal to his opponent that night, Swerve Strickland. In fact, Swerve said, it was the greatest moment of his career.

Danielson defeated Swerve Strickland to win his first AEW World Championship after a brutal match. Following the match, Danielson had nothing but good things to say about Swerve.
"I don’t like to rank opponents as far as ‘this person is better than this person.’ Swerve is incredible. Every step of the way. In terms of the build for this match, Swerve carried the load. He did an incredible job. He’s been an incredible world champion. I can’t speak highly enough about who he is as a wrestler, doing interviews, how he is with the press. He’s so good. Overall, what a wonderful human being," Danielson said in the AEW Post-Show Media Scrum.
During that same scrum, Danielson said that his title win was his favorite moment of his career.
