Darby Allin Dives From Scaffolding To Close AEW Dynamite
TNT Champion summons Jeff Hardy in chaotic AEW Dynamite main event.
Darby Allin took a page from Jeff Hardy's book while wrestling the WWE star's brother Matt in last night's AEW Dynamite main event, scaling the Daily's Place scaffolding to hit a crazy Coffin Drop at the end of their TNT Title match.
The bout was a wild, chaotic fight with weapon use from the first bell, interferences from everyone from Sting to The Dark Order, and arena-wide brawling. Hardy and Allin fought behind the stage and past Tony Khan at one point, with Hardy hitting a diving leg drop through a table on Darby - though he ended up falling victim to the night's biggest spot.
Darby cleared the announce table of monitors and other equipment after battering Matt with Sting's baseball bat. Setting Hardy up on the table, he then scaled the scaffolding and leapt off backwards, landing a risky Coffin Drop.
Seconds later, Allin pinned Hardy to retain his TNT Championship.
AEW has uploaded highlights of the match to YouTube, including Allin's mega-spot:-
Spots like this are nothing new for Allin, whose willingness to take great risks for the audience's entertainment is a huge part of his appeal. Last month's Revolution pay-per-view saw him take a crazy dive on Team Taz through the middle of a warehouse set.
