Ricky Starks Vs. Bryan Danielson Added To AEW All Out
An unexpected match takes place tomorrow
Sep 3, 2023
In a surprise twist, Ricky Starks will face Bryan Danielson in a Strap match at AEW All Out on Sunday night.
Over the preceding days, Starks challenged Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat to a Strap match, stemming from their altercation on AEW Collision several weeks ago, in which Starks whipped Steamboat with his own belt.
On Saturday's Collision, Starks reiterated the challenge, to which Steamboat appeared, bearing a contract that had "Ricky Starks vs. The Dragon" as the written header. Starks happily signed one line of the contract, after which Steamboat brought out "The American Dragon" Danielson in a swerve. Danielson then signed the other line of the contract.
Danielson has not wrestled since breaking his forearm while wrestling Kazuchika Okada at Forbidden Door on June 25.
