Takagi noted that he would like to see Bryan Danielson inside the squared circle again and that he would look forward to stepping in the ring with Samoa Joe and Claudio Castagnoli as well.

“There are quite a few Japanese wrestlers doing their thing in AEW, aren’t there?” said Takagi. “I’d like to see Bryan Danielson again. Seeing him in the ring would be fine. I just missed Claudio Castagnoli and Samoa Joe when they were in ROH, so I’d like to mix it up with them sometime.”

Bryan Danielson gave his thoughts on potentially wrestling competing in a G1 Climax Tournament and perhaps being beyond that at this stage in his career. Read more at this link.
