AEW Dynamite opened with an explosive confrontation on October 8, as Darby Allin and Brody King traded intense words ahead of their match at AEW WrestleDream. The two stars, who share a history from their days on the independent circuit, took jabs at each other in an emotional face-to-face showdown.
Allin reminisced about their humble beginnings, recalling how they used to stay in rundown hotels and dream about making it to television. He took credit for helping King land a spot in AEW, which allowed him to support his family and even let his father retire. Allin, not one to shy away from boasting, proudly claimed that he had already retired his own father and declared himself the face of AEW.
Not to be outdone, Brody King shot back, calling Allin his own worst enemy. King took aim at Allin’s personal ambitions, particularly his desire to climb Mount Everest. In a chilling comment, King suggested that Allin could die in the attempt, forcing his father to return to work. Allin, clearly fed up, begged King to put him out of his misery right then and there.
The tension boiled over into a physical brawl, with both men exchanging blows. Allin got the upper hand after striking King with a rock, but the segment ended with security rushing in to separate the two competitors, leaving fans eager to see what happens next at WrestleDream.
