13 Ups & 1 Down From AEW Dynamite (Jun 3)

10. Down But Not Out

... here are Tony Schiavone and Darby Allin with another one!

A short, snappy interview saw Darby say if life is one big joke, he'll get the last laugh against Brian Cage, who put him on the injury reserve by destroying him in Double Or Nothing's Casino Ladder Match. That this match is seemingly happening is fantastic news.

Cage is a straight-up destroyer and one of the most physically impressive wrestlers active in North America right now, while Allin is an outstanding bumper and sympathy-generator. They are tailor-made for an explosive, energetic TV match before Cage moves on to face Jon Moxley at Fyter Fest, so that's something to look forward to.
