Bryan Danielson confirmed for Starrcast Texas appearance following a prolonged absence from AEW, marking his return to the wrestling spotlight after stepping away last year. The seasoned veteran, once AEW World Champion and former WWE star, will be part of the highly anticipated event this July in Texas.
Bryan Danielson Scheduled to Appear at Starrcast Texas
Fans have eagerly awaited news about Bryan Danielson’s next public engagement since he was last seen in action at WrestleDream, where he lost the AEW World Championship to Jon Moxley. That match not only marked the loss of his title but was followed by an aggressive attack from the Blackpool Combat Club. Shortly afterwards, Danielson formally announced his retirement from wrestling, leaving many questioning his future in the sport.
Speculation mounted in the wrestling community as reports hinted Danielson would share major news. During this period, he remained away from the ring, making few public statements and focusing on his personal life.
Recently, the official Starrcast account on X (formerly Twitter) made the announcement that Danielson will be making an appearance at their event in Texas on July 11 and 12. The announcement highlighted Danielson’s storied career and raised excitement among fans eager to see him again outside the AEW environment.
“He’s a former AEW World Champion—and one of the most decorated wrestlers of all-time!”

Gabe Kidd Criticizes Danielson’s Relevance
While anticipation builds for Danielson’s appearance, not everyone in the wrestling world has responded positively. Gabe Kidd, who recently became an ally of Jon Moxley, expressed harsh opinions about Danielson’s current relevance. Kidd, speaking in an interview with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, was direct and dismissive regarding Danielson’s legacy following his retirement.
“You don’t have to tell me about snakes. I’m in a faction with Gedo. He’s betrayed everyone he’s been with. You think I don’t think about that? I’m very aware and know how to spot them out. I don’t give a f**k about Daniel Bryan. Daniel Bryan is not relevant anymore. He’s out the game. He’s sat at home in the forest eating leaves. Good for him. F**k off.”
—Gabe Kidd, Wrestler
The strong words from Kidd highlight the tension and divided opinions among wrestlers regarding Danielson’s place in the industry post-retirement. Kidd’s remarks also reinforce his commitment to Moxley and the Blackpool Combat Club, underscoring the ongoing rivalries that continue to shape both AEW and wider wrestling narratives.
Looking Ahead to the Starrcast Event in Texas
The news of Bryan Danielson confirmed for Starrcast Texas appearance promises to be a major draw as the event approaches this July. For fans, the opportunity to engage with Danielson outside the confines of AEW offers both nostalgia and excitement, while also raising questions about whether he will share further insights about his future in wrestling. The event is set to generate considerable attention, both for Danielson’s dedicated supporters and for those invested in the ongoing storylines involving the likes of Jon Moxley, Gabe Kidd, and the AEW roster.
