5 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Rampage (Feb 4)

4. Darby Allin’s Tease

There's a ton going on with Darby Allin right now. He's still teaming with Sting, and Andrade El Idolo is trying to diss him by throwing money around like this generation's 'Million Dollar Man'. Now, after what happened on Rampage, fans can add a possible TNT Title challenge into the mix.

Allin showed solidarity with Sammy Guevara by coming to the champ's aid, but then slapped both TNT belts when he had Guevara alone in the ring. The Inner Circle man's facial expression suddenly changed to one of confusion, and even Chris Jericho did well on commentary to question what Darby was up to.

This clever moment could be considered throwaway, but don't sleep on it. Allin is still on the hunt for gold, and AEW will likely come back to this in the future. Excalibur did say that Darbs had a taste of the TNT Title before, and how he wants more.

Nice.
