In a shocking turn of events, veteran AEW announcer Tony Schiavone has seemingly teased a long-awaited in-ring comeback for former WWE star Nigel McGuinness. The esteemed wrestling veteran has been absent from the ring for nearly 12 years, and fans are buzzing with excitement at the prospect of his return.
McGuinness, a seasoned pro wrestler with stints in TNA Wrestling and ROH, hung up his boots in 2011, only to transition to a successful commentary career with WWE, covering NXT and NXT UK events between 2016 and 2022. However, his recent appearances on AEW’s Collision have raised eyebrows, with McGuinness taking subtle jabs at none other than Bryan Danielson.
The tension between McGuinness and Danielson dates back years, and their long-standing rivalry could be reignited if the former WWE star makes a triumphant return to the ring. On the latest episode of Collision, McGuinness took a subtle dig at Danielson, hinting that he came back too soon from his recent injuries. Schiavone, sensing an opportunity, probed McGuinness about a potential showdown between the two, asking whether he wouldn’t want Danielson to show up at Wembley Stadium for All In 2024.
The implications are clear: a tantalizing match between Danielson and McGuinness might be on the horizon. Fans are salivating at the prospect of witnessing these two wrestling legends face off once more, with the seasoned McGuinness looking to prove himself against one of the best in the business.
Over the past few months, McGuinness has consistently taken potshots at Danielson while on commentary, fueling speculation about a potential in-ring return. The question on everyone’s mind is: will McGuinness finally lace up his boots and step into the squared circle against his long-time rival? If Tony Schiavone’s on-air remarks are any indication, the answer might be a resounding “yes”.
As the wrestling world awaits an official announcement, fans are left to ponder the possibilities of such a monumental showdown. Will McGuinness prove he still has what it takes to hang with the best, or will Danielson’s trademark ferocity prove too much for the veteran wrestler? One thing is certain – the prospect of this dream match has sent shockwaves throughout the wrestling community, and we can’t wait to see what unfolds.
