AEW turned up the chaos at Full Gear 2024, but it was the ending that has everyone talking. The AEW World Heavyweight Championship match between Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, on Saturday night delivered, but the post-match antics? Absolutely insane.
Here’s the rundown: After Moxley defeated Cassidy, he took things to the next level by putting cleaner down Cassidy’s mouth. Just as things heated up, Hangman Page stormed out with a chair and took out Wheeler Yuta, leading to Christian Cage appearing to lay out Moxley. In a twist, Page handed Cage a contract for a World Title shot, but just as Cage looked ready to cash in, Jay White swooped in to stop him. The Blackpool Combat Club retaliated, taking out White.
But then, in true AEW fashion, Darby Allin showed up with the most shocking moment of the night. As Moxley and crew tried to leave, Allin crashed his car into Moxley’s vehicle!
Fans assumed it was all smoke and mirrors—after all, AEW is no stranger to dramatic stunts. However, Wrestling Observer Radio’s Bryan Alvarez revealed that Allin was actually driving the car himself! Alvarez painted a chaotic picture, saying, “I think he damn near killed himself because he gets out of the car, he’s covered in blood. He’s supposed to get on the truck he ran into and destroy it with a skateboard…he slips off the truck, falls, and finally gets up there all woozy.”
Alvarez even questioned the decision-making, asking, “Why did they let him drive the car? Why don’t they have a stuntman?”
Despite the wild scene, Allin powered through the moment, bloodied and dazed, smashing the truck with his skateboard in a move that left fans buzzing.
This daring moment capped off a night of unpredictable storytelling and set the stage for some explosive future feuds. AEW might just have redefined “live action” with Allin’s stunt, but the risks involved have left many fans wondering if it was worth it.
