AEW All In London 2024 is back in the UK this weekend and Wembley Stadium could be saying farewell to a WWE legend.
On Sunday night, Tony Khan’s All Elite Wrestling takes over the nation’s capital once more for a stacked card with championship bouts, grudge matches and the possibility of Bryan Danielson retiring for good.
It’s been an illustrious 25-year run for the man known as the American Dragon, who wrestled in WWE as Daniel Bryan, but he’s preparing to hang up his boots in the not too distant future and Wembley could be the perfect stage.
His main event bout with Swerve Strickland is truly all or nothing for Bryan as he chases the AEW World Heavyweight Title knowing a loss means he has to retire.
Tomorrow night will also mark the last chance to see AEW at Wembley Stadium for a while, as the company instead seem poised to return in 2025 alongside NJPW for Forbidden Door.
The card as a whole for All In looks stacked from top to bottom, with plenty to look forward to.
Here’s everything you need to know.

Is Bryan Danielson actually retiring?

There is every chance this could be the final time Bryan Danielson wrestles, but it’s not necessarily as clear cut as that.
The decorated former world champion – who is rightly regarded as one of the best wrestlers of all time – has repeatedly said his recently expired AEW contract will be the last one he signs.
Part of that is his family, as he wants to be there for his children as they grow up, while he has recently revealed he will have to undergo neck surgery sooner rather than later.

His WWE comeback in 2018 – two years after retiring due to what appeared to be a career ending injury – and subsequent AEW run starting in 2021 has been a bonus for Danielson and his fans.
In AEW, he’s been able to go back to his vicious American Dragon days and recaptured that style of wrestling, while constantly giving back to the next generation without a championship run in the company.
That could all change against Swerve, but there’s a very real possibility that Danielson will choose Wembley Stadium, in front of over 50,000 screaming fans, to bring an end to an iconic career.
