AEW WrestleDream 2025 went down in St. Louis with plenty of chaos and surprises, but fans were left asking why Bryan Danielson wasnt at the commentary desk.
During the post-show media scrum, Tony Khan finally revealed the real reason behind Danielsons absence. Khan admitted it came down to both storyline decisions and real-life commitments. He explained that with Jon Moxleys brutal plans for the main event against Darby Allin, it would have been nearly impossible for Bryan to stay calm behind the desk.
On top of that, Bryan had a family commitment the same night. Khan encouraged him to step away from the show entirely rather than risk breaking character or walking out mid-match.
Khan stressed that Danielson will be back, and the decision allowed him to avoid being caught in a storyline trap while also putting family first. With the Death Riders still circling Danielson in AEW, its clear his presence at the deskor in the ringis far from finished.
