7. The Numbers Get To Darby Allin

One Christian Cage has done a masterful job of reinventing himself as a despicable heel who delights in being cruel. The fact he's been hiding behind legit TNT Champ (and human brick wall) Luchasaurus whilst claiming to be the real champion has also been a hoot.

There's simply no need to end that run on Sunday.

If anything, Cage and Lucha should make it impossible for Darby Allin to properly get going. That'd mean the classic underdog doesn’t win his third TNT Title at All Out. Being totally honest, he doesn't really need that at the moment, because he's over like rover anyway by chumming around with Sting.

That's settled then. Keep the belt exactly where it is, and have Christian chip in where possible. Unlike some others on the card, this match won't suffer from outside interference - it's not that Luchasaurus needs it, it's that Cage is just a sadistic jerk.
