Nigel McGuinness Returns to Wrestling, Challenges Bryan Danielson for AEW Grand Slam Match

Nigel McGuinness has made a surprise return to wrestling after a 13-year hiatus, challenging Bryan Danielson for a match at AEW Grand Slam on September 25. This unexpected development has created excitement among fans, but also raised concerns about the limited time to promote the match properly.

To address these concerns, AEW has begun airing video packages highlighting the history between McGuinness and Danielson. On a recent episode of “AEW Collision,” a package narrated by McGuinness showcased their past rivalry in Ring of Honor, emphasizing McGuinness’s dominance over Danielson. This move aligns with suggestions made by wrestling personality Nic Nemeth, who stressed the importance of using AEW’s multiple weekly shows to build anticipation for the match.

With the event just over a week away, it’s expected that AEW will continue to focus on promoting this high-profile matchup. Fans can likely anticipate more video packages and segments dedicated to exploring the McGuinness-Danielson feud, particularly during the upcoming episode of “AEW Dynamite.” This build-up aims to maximize interest in what will be the first encounter between these two wrestlers since 2009.
