AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam is shaping up to be an exciting event with some unexpected developments. Darby Allin, the #1 contender for the AEW World Title, will defend his title shot against Jon Moxley. This change has opened up an opportunity for AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson to face a different opponent at the September 25 event in Queens, NY.

In a surprising turn of events, former ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness has challenged Danielson to a match at AEW Grand Slam. The challenge was issued during Wednesday’s Dynamite, with McGuinness claiming that AEW President Tony Khan has already approved the match. This will be a significant bout for McGuinness, who only recently returned to wrestling after a 12-year hiatus, making his comeback at AEW All In on August 25 in Wembley Stadium. Meanwhile, Danielson is still recovering from a brutal attack by his former Blackpool Combat Club teammates, adding an extra layer of intrigue to this upcoming match.
