Details of Bryan Danielson's conversation with Vince McMahon before he left WWE to sign with AEW
Bryan Danielson has been on a roll since joining AEW last year. The former WWE Champion has been a part of several high-profile matches against the likes of Kenny Omega & Adam Page.
Bryan Danielson was recently in conversation with F4WOnline, and during the interview, the AEW star revealed details of his conversation with Vince McMahon before leaving WWE.
Danielson started by mentioning that he doesn't intend on revealing the conversations he had with the WWE Chairman, as McMahon is a very private person.
However, the former WWE Champion revealed the one condition he had for McMahon prior to leaving WWE for AEW. Danielson stated that he wanted to compete in matches involving extreme violence and blood:
"I don't like to divulge my conversations with Vince [McMahon] at all because I know he's a very private person. But one of the things, when I finally made my decision I'm like, 'Okay, I'm set on this decision', and he was kind of asking me why and I said, 'You know, there's part of me too that just wants to be able to bleed'. And he immediately said, 'Well, I'm sorry I'll never be able to give you that'. So yeah, it's not like I want to do it all the time. There's something, I don't know, incredibly life-affirming about it, as strange as that sounds." [2:00-2:47]

Bryan Danielson will be in action at AEW Revolution 2022
Bryan Danielson will face Jon Moxley at AEW Revolution 2022. On the back of two matches against Hangman Adam Page, Danielson shifted his focus towards Moxley after having failed to win the AEW World Championship.
Danielson's initial proposal to Moxley was to join forces with the former AEW World Champion. However, Moxley had other intentions and claimed that he doesn't usually team up with anyone unless he bleeds with them first. Hence, the two men will engage in what promises to be a brutal match at Revolution.
"I'd like to promote people getting off of social media."
"I'm not going to name my Twitter account or my Instagram account."
