Bryan Danielson surprise return with Brie Bella at All In 2025 is fueling speculation among wrestling fans, as the former AEW World Champion may join forces with a WWE Hall of Famer to support Hangman Adam Page against Jon Moxley and the Death Riders. With Danielson absent from television for months, the possibility of his dramatic comeback in Texas has the wrestling community buzzing.
Danielson’s Absence Creates Anticipation for All In 2025
After losing the AEW World Title to Jon Moxley and suffering a brutal attack by the Death Riders at WrestleDream 2024, Bryan Danielson stepped away from full-time competition. His absence has only intensified fan anticipation, as rumors swirl about a potential return. The idea of Danielson reappearing at All In 2025, especially in Texas, alongside his wife Brie Bella, a WWE Hall of Famer, has become a hot topic in wrestling circles.
Possible Reunion to Help Hangman Page
At the upcoming All In Texas 2025 event, Hangman Adam Page is set to challenge Jon Moxley for the AEW World Title, having earned his shot by winning the 2025 Men’s Owen Hart Cup. The Death Riders, led by Moxley, present a major threat to Page’s championship hopes on July 12. The scenario fans are hoping for involves Danielson seeking payback against Moxley and the Death Riders, providing much-needed support for Hangman in his pursuit of the title.

However, Marina Shafir, another key figure involved with the Death Riders, could stand in the way. To neutralize her involvement, Brie Bella—who last appeared in AEW at All In 2024 in London, where Danielson famously captured the AEW World Title—could make her own return, possibly aligning with her husband and shifting the odds in Hangman Page’s favor.
Starrcast Meet and Greet Fuels Speculation
While Danielson has yet to be confirmed for a match at All In 2025, fans will have the opportunity to see him during the eventful weekend. Starrcast Texas has revealed that “The American Dragon” will participate in a meet and greet on July 11 and 12, just before the highly anticipated pay-per-view. The announcement read:
“He’s a former AEW World Champion—and one of the most decorated wrestlers of all-time!”

This announcement has only intensified the speculation that Danielson could make a dramatic ring return, this time possibly accompanied by Brie Bella, to support Hangman Page at one of AEW’s biggest events.
What Comes Next for All In 2025
With multiple wrestling stars, including Bryan Danielson, slated for appearances during the All In weekend at Starrcast, fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation regarding Danielson and Brie Bella’s potential return to AEW action. The question remains whether this surprise appearance will tilt the balance in favor of Hangman Adam Page in his title quest against Jon Moxley and the Death Riders. As anticipation grows, the Texas event is positioning itself as a pivotal moment for the AEW World Title storyline and for those eager to witness the comeback of Bryan Danielson and Brie Bella.
