Nigel McGuinness gave his final words to AEW World Champion “The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson ahead of their match at Dynamite: Grand Slam!
Nigel: “True to form, the American Dragon has refused to answer my challenge from last week. The AEW World Champion, a representative for this company…how pathetic. What’s even worse is this clam digger is hiding behind this fake injury when the truth of the matter is Bryan fears Nigel.
“But Bryan, if you’re not going to do it for me, or for you, or for your family, maybe you should do it for the fans. The truth is, while they cheer you, they identify with me. If you deny me, you deny them!”
Tony Schiavone: “I’ve been working beside you since last year as your broadcast partner. I hear what you say about Danielson each week and I see what you’re trying to do to Danielson. Your claims are ridiculous. Bryan Danielson is not afraid of you. He is not cleared to wrestle. If he was cleared to wrestle, he’d get in the ring with you. We’ll find out at Grand Slam if he’s cleared to wrestle. He’s not afraid of you! Bryan Danielson is the greatest professional wrestler I have ever seen in my career.”
Nigel: “You are one of the luckiest SOBs I have ever seen, because if anyone else said those words to me, I would have knocked their head off. Tony don’t tempt fate twice. Go and sit down and shut your mouth now!
“You might be drinking the Coward Aid, but I’m not! Bryan, I don’t care who you do it for, but on Wednesday night, I want you to walk down this rampway, walk up these steps and meet me in the middle of this ring for the final chapter of our rivalry! Because it is my destiny! Ever since I have retired, I have told anyone who would listen, shouting at the moon, like a lunatic, saying I was as good as you Bryan! But nobody listened to me! Nobody believed me!
“And why would they Bryan? Because the truth of the matter is there are only two people in the world today who know that what I’m saying is true! Me and you! And that is exactly why you have refused to answer my challenge! You know that if you show up this Wednesday, I will beat you! I will destroy you! And I will finally have vindication!
“Once again, you’re taking away from me the one thing I deserve. But this time it doesn’t matter. This time even if you don’t show up, I will still be vindicated because the world knows why. The ball is in your court. I hope you choose option A and show up because if there is a God in heaven it will happen. And if there’s not, may the devil hear my prayer!
