Darby Allin’s journey to conquer Mount Everest was tragically halted by a foot injury, followed by a bizarre encounter with a bus. However, adversity couldn’t keep him down for long. Last week on Dynamite, Allin made a triumphant return, showcasing his resilience in the face of challenges. It appears that AEW took extra measures to ensure his return remained a surprise, safeguarding against premature leaks.
On the May 15th episode of AEW Dynamite, disappointment struck fans when The Elite announced Eddie Kingston’s withdrawal from The Anarchy In The Arena match due to a knee injury.
In a twist of fate, Darby Allin made a return after the main event of AEW Dynamite, stepping in as Kingston’s replacement for the Anarchy in the Arena match at AEW Double or Nothing. Teaming up with Bryan Danielson, Dax Harwood, and Cash Wheeler, they are set to take on The Elite.
According to Fightful Select, Allin’s return was meticulously planned to prevent any spoilers from surfacing prematurely, a strategy that proved highly effective.
“Darby Allin got snuck into the building last week so word of his appearance and return wouldn’t leak.”
Though Allin confessed he hasn’t fully recovered from his injuries, anticipation builds for the chaos that may ensue at The Anarchy In The Arena match.
