Darby Allin reflects on AEW career and championship win

Professional wrestler Darby Allin has reflected on his career with All Elite Wrestling (AEW), discussing both his mindset during the company’s early years and his experience winning the AEW World Championship.

Allin noted that during AEW’s inaugural year, some performers treated the opportunity as a permanent job without a sense of mission, whereas he viewed the promotion as a chance to change the wrestling landscape. He observed that the current talent standard is significantly higher, requiring wrestlers to be among the best to secure television time.

Regarding his championship victory, Allin described feeling physically numb and depleted immediately following the match. However, he expressed profound satisfaction in reaching the top of the promotion without compromising his professional integrity or personal identity.
