Tony Khan recently opened up about the status of Bryan Danielson and his future with All Elite Wrestling.
During a recent appearance on the Way of the Blade podcast (via Wrestling News), Khan was asked about Danielson's status.

'I still work with Bryan Danielson,' said Khan. 'He's still a big part of my office. He's not on the show, and he's been injured and maybe retired for good, but he's never said he's done for good, and I hope that there's some possibility he will be able to return to wrestling from the injuries and the way he left, but he's still a part of AEW, so I'm still very fortunate to work with Bryan.
What did Tony Khan say about Bryan Danielson?
'I talk to Bryan almost every day. He's got a great mind for wrestling, and he's somebody that I'm really pleased and blessed came into AEW and got involved with us. He's a great person in and out of the ring, and he's a great leader in AEW.'
Danielson's future in the ring has been unclear, given his issues with his neck. Speaking with Denise Salcedo for Instinct Culture earlier this year, he was asked to comment on his neck.

'My neck is not great,' he said. 'It's causing me to not sleep good and some of these other things. But at the end of the day, I'm happy. At first, it was a little bit tough. It's like, for parents out there, it's like the first three weeks that you have a child and you're not sleeping at all, but then you get used to not sleeping very well [laughs]. So I've just become used to the not sleeping. Yeah, I'm happy. I've just had an incredible time just being with my family and being with my kids.'
Danielson was also asked to comment on whether he would wrestle again, and said it was 50/50 at the time.
'If I had to guess right now, I would say it's 50/50 if I'll ever…and I'm okay with that,' Bryan Danielson said. 'I loved the time I got to spend doing this, but I also love what I'm doing now.'

Tay Melo has officially returned to AEW. During Wednesday's episode of AEW Fyter Fest, Melo shocked the crowd by returning. She showed up just as Megan Bayne was about to throw Anna Jay off the stage, and immediately caused chaos. She got into it with Penelope Ford (who was on hand with Bayne) and then brawled with Bayne.

Huge Matches Signed For AEW Summer Blockbuster
AEW Summer Blockbuster is going to be a big one, with two matches already confirmed for the event. During Wednesday's episode of AEW's Fyter Fest, Will Ospreay took to the ring alongside Tony Schiavone. He said he regrets trying to pair up Adam Page and Swerve Strickland, and has since adjusted his focus. In a surprising moment, Ospreay then challenged Strickland to a singles match at the upcoming TV special. The match was later confirmed by the show. Ospreay and Strickland met each other in the ring at last year's Forbidden Door pay-per-view in an instant classic. In that match, Strickland walked out the winner, something Ospreay hopes to change this time around.

AEW Summer Blockbuster is set to take place on June 11, 2025, and will be held at the Theater of the Clouds at Moda Center in Portland, Oregon.
