AEW superstar Darby Allin is known for his daredevil stunts during his matches. Naturally, it’s a dangerous endeavor. AEW co-owner Tony Khan discussed these stunts and shed some light on why he allowed them on his show. 

Tony Khan spoke on TVInsider and showed full support and confidence in Darby Allin. He stated that he goes by the philosophy that if someone is going to pull this move off, how can he do it more safely? The 31-year-old’s ability to pull off these dangerous moves safely every time impressed Tony.

Allin attempted one of those dangerous moves in wrestling Icon Sting‘s final match at AEW Revolution. He performed a Swanton Bomb from the top of a ladder on Nicholas Jackson placed on the glass. However, Matthew Jackson pulled Nicholas out of harm’s way and Allin collided with the glass upon his landing.

Darby Allin, every time, he has ever had an idea for a wild highspot or a crazy move, he has had a rationale and plan. Nobody would have attempted the amount of crazy, wild, death-defying stunts Darby has done in his tenure and made it this far unless they are a methodical, organized planner.

Even though Allin was bleeding through the whole match, he finished strong and retained the titles with Sting. However, with the Icon’s retirement, they had to vacate the tag titles. Fans will always be excited to see what moves Allin pulls off in the future.

Former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega wants to fight Darby Allin

Kenny Omega is one of the biggest superstars of this generation, with many titles to his name and world-class matches. It looks like Allin impressed him too and expressed his desire to wrestle him in the future.

During Omega’s Twitch stream, he detailed how Allin’s wrestling style and his ability to do what he does regularly shocked him. The 40-year-old veteran described Allin as a cat who will land on his feet wherever he falls. He said that wrestling with him will be one of his cool matches once he comes back. 

But in a way, he’s kind of like a cat, where you could chuck him off a skyscraper and he’s going to somehow land on his feet and be completely fine.

Fans got excited upon hearing the potential matchup between two of the best in the business. Omega is currently out after he was diagnosed with diverticulitis. There are no signs of him coming back as of yet, but when he does, he will tear down the house once again with rising stars like Allin.
