Daniel Bryan leaves WWE to become All Elite
Daniel Bryan is now All Elite.
Tony Khan’s latest acquisition is a game-changer. Just five months ago, Bryan—now performing under his real name of Bryan Danielson—worked the main event at WrestleMania 37. His next pay-per-view appearance came Sunday, when he closed All Out by attacking Kenny Omega and The Elite.
Along with Danielson, AEW also debuted Ruby Soho, who in one night was presented better than she was during her entire run in WWE, and Adam Cole, a pillar of NXT for the past four years who revealed himself as the newest member of The Elite moments before Danielson’s emergence.
