Summary
Darby Allin is the NEW AEW World Champion, and it's a HUGE MISTAKE.
AEW SQUASHED MJF last week for a 2nd time this year as World Champion, forcing a feel good moment for Darby All to capture the AEW World Championship for the first time. Why did AEW pull such a risky move crowning Darby Allin, when their business has been the best in years with MJF as The World Champion? Who does this benefit, and what is the real story here?
Tonight, @JDfromNY and @ChitownSmark discuss this bold move, and why the feel it's 10 steps backwards for AEW with Darby Allin as the AEW World Champion. Also, Darby Allin has his first title defense tonight against Tommaso Ciampa. Mina Shirakawa goes one on one with Hikaru Shida, and Will Ospreay battles Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family.
