Danielson’s Shift to Commentary and Reception from Industry Veterans
After stepping back from wrestling actively, Bryan Danielson has embraced his new role as a commentator with AEW.

Alongside Tony Schiavone and Excalibur, Danielson contributes fresh insights to the commentary team, bringing his deep knowledge of wrestling into play. Taz, a respected figure aged 57, acknowledged Danielson’s analytical skills but emphasized that developing chemistry among commentators takes time.
“I think it’s cool. I like Bryan, I respect Bryan and get along great with him. He’s got great insight. Some people say, ‘Well wait a minute, Taz is an analyst so now we have another analyst in Bryan Danielson’… It’s okay to have two analysts because we have different perspectives on what you’re seeing. So I’m happy that Danielson’s part of the announce team with us, with Excalibur and myself, and I think it’s cool. We’ve just gotta build some chemistry together… we just need a little time to get our sea legs as a unit under us a little bit. And we will. It’ll take a couple of weeks.” said the WWE veteran.
