As part of a stacked episode of AEW Dynamite, last night's Fyter Fest Night 1 offering saw Darby Allin defeat Ethan Page in AEW's first ever Coffin Match.

Allin got the win after landing a skateboard shot to All Ego's back, before then slamming the coffin lid shut on Page.

The action wasn't done there, mind, for, in typical Darby fashion, that victory was followed up by the Daredevil becoming the literal nail in Page's coffin - hitting his patented Coffin Drop from the top rope to the outside and onto the coffin that had the former IMPACT Tag Team Champion crammed in it.

Few talents in the industry remain as forever compelling and all-out entertaining as Darby Allin, and Ethan Page also deserves all of the praise in the world for how great a job he's done in AEW since arriving in the company this past March.

Where Allin and Page go from here remains to be seen, but both men have extremely bright futures in Tony Khan's All Elite Wrestling.
