Bryan Danielson Says He Has Become Friends With Tony Khan Outside Of Wrestling

Bryan Danielson and Tony Khan have become friends.

Not just business acquaintances.

During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, "The American Dragon" spoke about how he has developed a relationship with Khan that goes beyond pro wrestling.

"Even if I never wrestled in AEW again, I feel like me and Tony will still talk," he said. "We get along so well. Both of us relate to the world through wrestling. We’ll be talking about something in the world, then he’ll bring up a reference that so few people know, but I’ll know."

Danielson continued, "I enjoy being around him, I enjoy his company. To me, that’s friendship. We’ve connected and we’ve developed loyalty. He’s someone who has been there for me in hard times, and I want to be there for him, too. That’s a friendship outside the lens of making a wrestling show."
