One of the most accomplished pro wrestlers of all time, ex-WWE superstar turned AEW icon Bryan Danielson, has challenged Twitter owner Elon Musk, labeling him as “cosmically impotent” in the process.

Formerly the world’s richest man, Elon Musk has certainly made his fair share of enemies on his rise to the top. In recent years, he’s been the target of plenty of criticism due to his takeover of Twitter.

Since buying the mega-popular social media platform, Musk has upended the verification system, drastically changed or outright removed key features, and thus, drawn the ire of millions for his handling of operations.

Among those questioning his decisions is none other than Bryan Danielson. Former leader of the ‘Yes’ movement in WWE, and now a bonafide legend on a run for the history books in AEW, the exceedingly popular pro wrestler has thrown his name out and challenged Musk.

While Danielson is in the midst of his final year as a full-time wrestler, not all of his attention has been on the squared circle, it seems. Co-hosting The Nikki & Brie Show with his wife, Brie Garcia, formerly Brie Bella in the WWE, Danielson couldn’t help but get vent some frustrations.

Shortly after his wife promoted a TikTok account for the show, Danielson saw it as a jumping-off point and dove in. “You know what’s more upsetting to me than TikTok… is actually Twitter.

“I’m going to challenge Elon Musk on Twitter and tell him he can’t blow up the moon and that he’s cosmically impotent.”

While it’s not entirely clear just what kind of challenge Danielson had in mind, if we had to guess, a 60 minute iron man match or submission match wouldn’t be out of the question. Given Musk has allegedly been training for quite some time now due to his beef with Mark Zuckerberg, perhaps the latter could be a fair fight.

Danielson is known as one of the best technical wrestlers of all time, even having awards named after him for his prowess in the field. It could just be a matter of time until we see him putting the Twitter owner in the Cattle Mutilation hold.
