Bryan Danielson has reiterated his stance that he won’t be using the ‘YES!’ chant in AEW.
When interviewed on the Rassiling with Brandon Walker podcast, Danielson explained that though he won’t encourage others not to use the chant, he won’t be using it himself. He would then go on to explain that this was due to an earlier conversation with Kevin Dunn, where Dunn politely asked that he respects their [WWE’s] intellectual property.
When asked about the chant Bryan Danielson said:
“I’m not doing it myself because I respect WWE’s intellectual property, I don’t think anything legally, they haven’t threatened anything legally. So I had a great conversation with Kevin Dunn [and] with WWE before I debuted with AEW. I was very upfront with WWE about, ‘Okay, I want to let you guys know I’m leaving. This is my debut date’ and all that kind of stuff. They asked me, politely, to respect their intellectual property, even some of the things that couldn’t be legally enforced. I’m trying my best to do that.”
Bryan Danielson will face AEW World Champion Kenny Omega on tonight’s special “Grand Slam” episode of Dynamite in a non-title match.
