AEW President Tony Khan appeared on Busted Open Radio to talk about a number of topics, including Darby Allin’s importance to the company.
Khan said, “Darby Allin is somebody, from the beginning of AEW, that’s been an important player. From our first year, from our first series of Dynamites, and to have Darby Allin in this position, now coming into Grand Slam challenging for a chance to wrestle for the AEW World Championship in his home state, probably two of the greatest wrestlers ever out of the great state of Washington — the world champion Bryan Danielson and Darby Allin.”
On Allin’s feud with Jon Moxley:
“He’s [Allin] doing, what I think, is the most interesting thing in pro wrestling, and the most captivating, important star in the world of wrestling right now, maybe, is Jon Moxley.”
