Bryan Danielson made good on his promise to bring “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada to the desert in Barred Door AEW x NJPW. Competing over the course of over 27 minutes, these two talents engaged in an acrimonious affair that left both men cringing. Danielson got the worst of it, as he is believed to have suffered a broken forearm during an elbow fall from Okada. Despite a physical setback late in the game, the American Dragons rallied the Scotiabank Arena by taking back a “Yes!” familiar to him. They cheered as he straightened Busaiku’s knee shortly before Okada submitted for the win.
Danielson salutes “Yeah!” Cheer broke an unwritten rule he brought with himself to AEW, as he indicated early in his AEW career that he was planning on leaving that side of his persona for WWE.
“I don’t do it myself because I respect WWE’s intellectual property,” Danielson said in September 2021. “They didn’t threaten anything legally. They asked me, politely, to honor their intellectual property rights even on some things that can’t be legally enforced. I will do my best.” To avoid swinging my arms in the air.”
Reply to a question from Liam Crowley of ComicBook.com at Barred Door AEW x NJPW At a press conference, Danielson revealed that his decision to use “Yes!” The cheer was a last ditch effort to keep the crowd occupied after he realized his arm had run out.
“Tonight was only a spur of the moment because going back to the last question, I wasn’t able to do some of the things I wanted to do,” Danielson said. And so I thought, ‘Well, how do we get the fans out? Oh! This is an easy fix! “I can only do it with one arm (laughs).”
