The wrestling world is abuzz with excitement as an official announcement confirms a major rematch featuring AEW star Bryan Danielson at an upcoming New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) event. With Danielson’s revelation in September 2023 that he has only one year left as a full-time wrestler, fans eagerly anticipate the dream matches leading up to his transition into a part-time role.
A highlight among these matches occurred at AEW Wrestle Dream in October 2023 when Danielson faced off against NJPW’s Zack Sabre Jr in a technical wrestling spectacle. Utilizing his Busaiku Knee, Danielson secured a victory, but the win was not without controversy, as Sabre Jr accused him of taking the “cheap way out” through a pinfall.
The tension escalated when Sabre Jr issued a challenge for a rematch during the January 5 New Year Dash show, and NJPW has now officially announced the date for this much-anticipated encounter – The New Beginning in Osaka on February 11.
NJPW provided a glimpse into the upcoming match, dubbing it a historic technical wrestling dream match taking place in Japan for the first time. The clash between Bryan Danielson and Zack Sabre Jr will serve as a platform for Sabre Jr to prove that Danielson cannot make him tap out, adding another layer of intensity to this eagerly awaited rematch.
