During an interview with The Wrestling Inc. Daily, Lance Archer was asked about the major rumor going around that CM Punk and Bryan Danielson may be on their way to All Elite Wrestling.

Archer had this to say:

“I hear the same rumors you hear. I’m only talent, so I just kind of step in the ring, and if he wants to show up, I’ll gladly kick his butt too. So, that’s kind of how I view any of the rumors...that just makes it fun for the pro wrestling fan, ‘cause you hear those rumors, and you just never know who’s gonna show up where, when and how.”

If [Bryan Danielson] wants to show up, he can show up, and I’ll put him on his ass...I think he’s one of the best in the world...I think he obviously has goals in the wrestling business. And New Japan Pro Wrestling, AEW and a lot of places have a lot of great platforms and formats, so you just never know. He’s an amazing talent. So wherever he goes, it’s gonna be a good show. But if he shows up and tries to fight me, sorry about your bad luck, brother.”
