“Here we are just three minutes since I defeated Eddie Kingston. The pace of my heart has decreased. I’m sitting here, meditating.”

“Eddie Kingston physically is as tough as nails. You can see it all the time he poured all his heart every time he fought. The only thing he’s not strong about is his mind. The thing is, you’re required to be both,”
“Bad things will take place in tournaments similar to that of the Continental Classic. Bad things will occur.”
“I broke my bone on the outside of my orbit in 2 locations. My vision is blurry. I broke my arm back in June and am still unable to have all the strength in my arm. If you’re not strong mentally, you’ll use every excuse to lose,”
“Last week Eddie Kingston said, “Humble in victory and humble when you lose. This is just making yourself vulnerable to defeat. I will not lose.”
Bryan continued to shout out all the players in the tournament, including his friends, and said:
“This is my final full-time professional year as a wrestler. I return and do a lot of meditation after these matches, and I can lock everything I feel.”
“The one sport I am passionate about more than anything else, aside from my family. The thrill of winning and the pain of being hit, everything that happens, and then everything is locked,”
“There is not a man in the Continental Classic, not my foes like Eddie Kingston, not my friends like John Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli, there is not a man in the Continental Classic that is tougher mentally or tougher physically than me.”
Bryan Danielson will face Andrade El Idolo Blue League of the AEW Continental Classic tournament on the November 9 episode on Collision in Montreal, Quebec.
