10 Most Important Wrestlers In AEW’s History

10. Darby Allin

Darby Allin was a relative unknown amongst mainstream wrestling audiences before he first appeared for AEW in 2019, where he immediately became a fan favourite and a performer to invest in. His first matches against established stars such as Cody Rhodes, Chris Jericho, and Jon Moxley displayed Darby's unique talents, whilst elevating him to the level of his experienced opponents.

The TNT Championship win helped progress Allin even further, which also paid off his year-long feud with Cody after the 'American Nightmare' lost to the young upstart on his fourth attempt. Since then Darby has largely appeared alongside Sting, which has offered yet another excellent chapter in the career of 'The Icon,' who is now well into his 60s.

The pairing has been inspired and has provided so many memorable matches, feuds, and crazy spots performed by the burgeoning superstar and his legendary mentor. The duo could have arguably had an AEW Tag Team Championship reign by now, but it is unclear how much the company wants to keep Darby as a singles performer.

Allin should get the opportunity to fight for singles titles once again, as the daredevil looks set for continued success in the company for years.
