Report on why Bryan Danielson isn’t using The Final Countdown in AEW

As previously noted, Bryan Danielson’s AEW entrance music is called Born For Greatness (Bryan Danielson Official AEW Walkout) and is a track by Elliott Taylor.

During his time on the independent scene, Danielson used The Final Countdown by Europe as his entrance theme. In regards to why the song isn’t being used for Danielson in AEW, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted that an attempt was made by AEW President Tony Khan. While Khan has spent money to license music for other AEW stars, Meltzer noted the following…

“There was, in fact, and attempt to have him come out to The Final Countdown, but even for Tony Khan it was cost prohibitive.” (quote courtesy of RingsideNews.com)

In other Danielson news, he changed his Twitter handle to @BryanDanielson and commented on his signing with AEW…

Thank you to the men and women who have worked so hard to make @aew what it is today. I’m still buzzing from last night, and that was only possible because of what you built.
