Bryan Danielson, the third-ever male Owen Hart Foundation winner on Wednesday’s AEW dynamite, earned a shot against AEW World Champion swerve Strickland in August’s All In.
Danielson needed to defeat Hangman Page at the finals in order to achieve this. He went all out, even performing a springboard-somersault outside the ring at the end of the match. Page and Danielson were both bloodied in the match.
Page whipped Danielson with his belt when he was on the ground after referee Paul Turner was knocked unconscious during the match. Jeff Jarrett, a special enforcer, was called down to the ring in order to prevent further damage. Jarrett took over after Turner. After Page shoved Jarrett, Jarrett revealed that he was wearing a referee shirt underneath.
After a frenetic last few minutes, Page nearly submitted Danielson with his LeBell Lock. Danielson then used a pinning count to win in front of the Calgary crowd, Alberta, Canada.
Danielson has now won his last two matches against Page.
Martha Hart delivered speeches after Danielson received the Owen Cup and the title belt. He joins Adam Cole (2020) and Rick Starks (2022) as past men’s champions.
Danielson won the quarterfinals against Shingo Takagi and then PAC, while Page beat Jarrett then Jay White.
Danielson, unless there is a title switch between now and Sunday August 25th, will face reigning champion Swerve Stricland at London’s Wembley Stadium. Strickland, who just won a match of year against Will Ospreay in June’s Forbidden Door, addressed Danielson after the match.
Danielson defeated Strickland back in October 2023.
Page stormed out of the match after the match to try and get another shot at Strickland, his blood rival.
