Bryan Danielson Tries To Fist RJ City On AEW All Out: Zero Hour

Bryan Danielson was insisting on a fisting.

When comparing their wrestling careers, RJ City and Bryan Danielson couldn’t be more different. However, there are times when they find common ground. Such was the case during AEW All Out 2025: Zero Hour. Danielson and City hosted the show, along with Renee Paquette. During the discussion of the AEW Unified Title Match, both agreed that Mascara Dorada had a good chance of winning, which would also include Konosuke Takeshita and Kazuchika Okada.

They couldn’t quite agree on how to display their unity. Bryan Danielson initially went for a high five, but RJ City went for a handshake, insisting that they’re not children. In the perfect response to that, Danielson went for a fist bump and insisted that they should “fist each other.” RJ politely declined, stating that he doesn’t do that and hasn’t since high school.

This is not the first time that Bryan Danielson referred to a fist bump as fisting. During the October 23, 2020, episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown, Danielson insisted that Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford, the Street Profits, fist him. Unlike RJ City, they have personalities and gleefully fisted the “American Dragon.”

Elsewhere on the Zero Hour, Danielson compared young Kyle Fletcher to Randy Orton. Read more here.
