WWE legend Bully Ray calls AEW star "tough SOB"
Last night on AEW Dynamite, two former ROH Champions wrestled each other for the first time on the promotion. The two stars were Bryan Danielson and Rush. WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray reacted to the match.
The American Dragon needed to win every single match he wrestled on Dynamite if he needed to face MJF for the AEW World Championship. He has defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Bandido, The Machine Brian Cage, and former WWE Superstar Timothy Thatcher in the past few weeks.
The next opponent for Danielson was Rush. Determined to win, Danielson gave everything he had. Both he and Rush went to war. Danielson injured his shoulder while breaking out of the trainer's room. His opponent targeted an injured shoulder while attempting to force the former WWE Champion to submit.
Bryan Danielson was busted open early on in the match. But all of Rush's efforts went in vain as The American Dragon hit the Bonsai Knee Strike and picked up a pinfall victory.
"You're not making it to March 5th!"

Bryan Danielson is the number one contender for MJF's AEW World Championship
As mentioned earlier, Daniel Bryan needed to win all his matches up until February 8th on AEW if he needs to earn an opportunity to face MJF for the title. The champion did everything in his power to ruin Danielson's chances, but he failed every time.
Also, prior to the match on last night's Dynamite, Danielson was locked in the trainer's room. MJF demanded that the referee start the match. Referee Aubrey Edwards started the match and began the ten count; just as she was counting, Danielson broke through the door and ran to the ring, and ended up winning the match.
The American Dragon won his final obstacle and is now the number one contender for MJF and his championship.
