Bryan Danielson Makes Surprise Wrestling Appearance Amid AEW Hiatus
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. AEW star Bryan Danielson made a noteworthy and unexpected appearance at the independent wrestling show "ACTION DEAN~!!!2" on Saturday, May 24, 2025. This was a welcome sight for wrestling fans, particularly as significant questions continue to circulate regarding his future as an active in-ring competitor in All Elite Wrestling. During the event, Danielson entered the ring and shared a respectful hug with the legendary luchador Blue Panther. This interaction was a special moment for those in attendance and quickly generated buzz online. This public appearance at a wrestling show is Danielson's first in front of a live crowd since his last official AEW match at the WrestleDream pay-per-view in October 2024. At that event, the celebrated former World Champion was defeated by his Blackpool Combat Club stablemate, Jon Moxley, in a hard-fought AEW World Championship main event. More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation In the periods both before and after WrestleDream 2024, Danielson had spoken openly and reflectively about his in-ring career potentially nearing its conclusion. These candid remarks led many fans and observers to speculate whether he had already wrestled his final match, making his recent appearance at "ACTION DEAN~!!!2" all the more intriguing. It's understood that despite his absence from AEW television as an active wrestler, Danielson continues to contribute significantly to the company behind the scenes. He reportedly fulfills various backstage roles, which can include being a disciplinary figure when necessary, leveraging his vast experience and respected standing within the industry.

Jeff Jones/AEW The primary reason for Danielson's reduced in-ring schedule and the uncertainty surrounding his future performances stems from ongoing health concerns. He is reportedly dealing with "serious neck problems" and, according to reports, "has yet to get surgery for them." This physical challenge is a major factor as he considers if and when he will compete again. His appearance at the independent show was non-physical, with no indication of a return to strenuous in-ring action at that specific event. Fans of "The American Dragon" will continue monitoring his status closely, hoping for positive news regarding his health and a potential return to the squared circle, while appreciating his continued contributions to AEW in his backstage capacity. Regardless of what Danielson does, he has had a great career. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.

Pahang aims to issue land titles to all FELDA settlers by year-end
BERA: The Pahang government is committed to ensuring that all Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA) settlers in the state receive their land titles by this year. State FELDA Affairs, Cooperatives and Entrepreneurs Committee chairman, Datuk Amizar Abu Adam said they are optimistic about achieving the goal as only four per cent, or 1,840 out of 43,126 settlers, have yet to receive their land titles. 'This remaining four per cent is due to technical issues, including discrepancies in the Register of Holdings (ROH), such as missing names of spouses or heirs. 'This is what we need to prepare and resolve within this year so that all grants can be handed over to the recipients,' he said at a press conference after a Land Title Presentation ceremony and the Felda Pahang 2025 Mini Carnival at Felda Triang 3 here today. Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail officiated the event. It was also attended by former Prime Minister and Bera MP Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob and FELDA chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek. At the event, 195 settlers from Felda Triang 3 received their land titles for residential and agricultural lots after waiting for nearly four decades. Amizar added that most unresolved cases were identified in the Felda Kuantan zone, accounting for about 60 to 70 per cent of the total, compared to the Felda Jengka and Mempaga zones. 'We are resolving the issues one by one, and since some involve legal matters, they will understandably take longer,' he said. He added that the state government and FELDA are committed to enhancing settlers' income in Pahang. This includes conducting three rounds of oil palm harvesting annually and encouraging collaborations with other agencies to implement crop projects, such as rice cultivation.
