Scrapped Pitch For Insane Darby Allin AEW Spot Revealed

AEW

A scrapped pitch for an insane Darby Allin spot in AEW has now been revealed, with Tony Khan revealing backstage conversations surrounding this pitch.

With Darby Allin involved in some of the most extreme spots to take place on AEW TV, many fans have questioned the former TNT Champion’s limits.

Speaking on the Way of the Blade podcast, Tony Khan revealed that Darby Allin wanted to get hit by a car during a feud with Sammy Guevara back in 2020.

Khan recalled:

“Darby in the pandemic, early in the pandemic when we had a very light crew. The April 2020 shows that we filmed in QT (Marshall) and Cody (Rhodes’) gym in Georgia, they had just under 30% of the roster there.

“Darby wanted to get hit by a car in his program with Sammy (Guevara). I said, ‘That’s not something we can do right now because we really need you. Not only can I afford for you to not get hurt, I can’t even write you off for a week to sell.

“You need to wrestle on the show every week, so I can’t do that. We don’t have anybody else and you’re a major part of what we’re doing week to week.’ I think that would have not made sense when you have a handful of people there and there are very few of the name wrestlers and he wants to get hit by a car.

“Not only can we afford for him to not be injured, we really can’t afford for him to be off TV for a week.”

Darby Allin is currently absent from AEW TV, with the former champion currently climbing Mount Everest.

Allin recently shared a video of him breaking a record during this climb, which you can read more about and watch right here.
