In a recent interview with TV Insider, All Elite Wrestling commentator Nigel McGuinness discussed his recent return to the ring, his upcoming match against Bryan Danielson at AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam, and whether a full-time run in All Elite Wrestling is in the plans.
“It’s definitely a wait-and-see, I’m not going to rule it out. I think for the longest time there has been the saying of never say never, and never really meaning it, I think we’ll see how the match goes. If Bryan is able to compete, as he is legitimately pretty banged up, hopefully it comes to fruition when he honors the booking, I think we’ll see how things play out after that. People asked me after the match in Wembley how I was feeling, I felt fantastic, it will be different going into a gauntlet match like that versus a one-on-one with expectations, I feel confident about it.
The truth of the matter is, when I stepped away from wrestling, it was purely because I couldn’t make a living as a wrestler any more, I could have gone back to Ring Of Honor and wrestled that style, but I wouldn’t have made enough money to even afford health insurance, let alone save for the rest of my life. WWE wasn’t interested in me because of an old arm injury, even though it was perfectly healed, I didn’t want to go back to TNA given what happened there, that was it, there was no AEW or anywhere else to make a living wrestling, I had no choice.”
