Bryan Danielson, an AEW star, has expressed empathy for the victims in the scandal involving former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis, and indicated openness to working with Shane McMahon in AEW, following Shane's meeting with AEW President Tony Khan. Danielson is scheduled to face Swerve Strickland at AEW's All In 2024, putting his career on the line for the AEW World Championship.

Additionally, Dustin Rhodes, another veteran wrestler now with AEW, has publicly refuted claims that he wouldn't make it to TV if still with WWE, and has no plans to retire soon. These developments underscore the dynamic shifts and evolving relationships within the professional wrestling industry.
