Overview
- Darby Allin won the AEW World Championship on Wednesday’s live Dynamite in Everett, Washington, landing four Coffin Drops and pinning MJF with a headlock takeover.
- The bout was set to open the show, but MJF arrived in a suit claiming he hadn’t been told, so Bryan Danielson relayed Tony Khan’s call to move it to the main event.
- Sting gave Allin a backstage pep talk before the match, and the locker room later lifted the new champion during an in-ring celebration.
- Allin earned the title shot by defeating Andrade El Ídolo at the AEW Dynasty pay-per-view three days earlier, then announced he would use it on Dynamite.
- Heavy, citing reporter BJ Bethel, reports MJF is expected to begin filming a movie now, and industry coverage suggests Allin’s reign could be brief with a likely rematch at Double or Nothing, though that remains unconfirmed.
