AEW WrestleDream 2024: Biggest Winners and Losers

Fans are buzzing after AEW WrestleDream 2024, especially after Brian Danielson’s shock retirement at the hands of Blackpool Combat Club. The nine matches on the program, and the four on the previous show, were nights of big money and emotional turmoil. Here’s a breakdown of the big winners and losers from the event.

Winners

1. Bryan Danielson

Despite losing the AEW World Championship and facing brutal offers from Blackpool Fight Club, Danielson's legacy will only grow. He fought bravely and left the ring as a fighter, setting the stage for further stories. His sacrifice lifted BCC to new heights and promised an exciting development in AEW’s history.

2. Adam Cole and MJF

When Adam Cole returned from injury, fans celebrated Adam Cole, and MJF resumed his role as the crowd-favorite villain. Their energy is back on track, Cole gets excited, and MJF collects the boos, restoring a balance that enhances both of their characters. This refreshing change paves the way for another compelling narrative.

Losers

1. Hook

After a huge feud with Chris Jericho, Hook was absent from WrestleDream. While he won the FTW Championship, his lack of in the main event, especially with Jericho still in the mix, raises questions about his path in AEW if Jericho showed up late it enables Hook to seem inside the damage.

2. Ricochet

A.E.W. If Ospreay moves on, Ricochet risks being seen as a mere developmental talent rather than a standout star. His lackluster impact on WrestleDream further reinforces this concern.

Conclusion

WrestleDream 2024 was a night filled with unexpected twists and emotional moments, which heavily impacted the trajectories of major wrestlers. As new episodes unfold, the power line between winners and losers continues to grow in AEW.
