An AEW star had been a champion for barely ten minutes when he extended a title opportunity to a young independent wrestling star.

After defying the odds and defeating Samoa Joe, Darby Allin won the TNT Championship for the second time.

After the January 4 edition of AEW Dynamite went off air, Allin called Nick Wayne to the ring and promised him a TNT Championship match when he graduates from high school.
