Darby Allin

And also the fact that he has that raw athleticism, the raw athleticism, the agility, it picks it up really well for him.

I think protecting him in a tag team match with Darby Allin was great.

I thought the finish was well, was really cool with the scorpion death drop into the coffin drop.

Really good stuff.

For me right now, I think it's the AEW championship over and obviously AEW for 2026.

Just because we saw MJF title run.

We saw a really cool Darby Allin title run.

That was really great.

anybody from the doc house family maybe i

mean it'd be pleasure and night or you got darby and borden now Don't give me Darby Borden.

Get out

of here

But the night in Phoenix when Darby and his dad won the AEW World Tag Team titles and he got jumped, it pulled something out of him.

Standing in the ring with his dad on the final night of his in-ring career, he realized he didn't want to have what-ifs, but run full steam ahead into the fear and went right to Darby Allin, who said that the training wheels are off.

He knows what Borden is capable of.

He's never meant to be the second coming of Sting.

Nick then goes to the top rope, but then Stokely Hathaway grabs his leg, which allows for Fletcher to hit him with the Avalanche Sheardrop Brain Buster through the table to give the Don Callis family the surprising victory here.

I will say, Fletcher took all of that table buck, so... know i don't know if they should have even won the matchup but the dcf pick up the victory here this was surprising considering that the bucks are going to be in that three-way ladder match but to me the this only makes sense if the bucks win at all out and then and thus you have set up fletcher and knight as the number one contenders coming out of the vapor Post-match, you get the beatdown is on as FTR come into the ring to plant Matt with the shatter machine before taking him to the apron.

They look for a spike power driver through a table, but then Darby Allin and Stephen Borden sprint out with a bat and a chair to chase off the heels.

You get the DCF and FTR hightailing it to ringside as Knight and Fletcher stand on the commentary table with their hands held high.

cannot get better timing.

Other than if they told Darby or Mercedes Monet, they're like, you have exactly

15 and a half minutes.

They're like, donezo.

Gauntlet match was incredible.

The Tag Team Championship match was incredible and established the craziest division we've seen maybe ever in tag team divisions.

And then Darby and Kevin was amazing.

Yeah.

until the time is right, but his focus is defending his national championship basically on a weekly basis.

He wants to be that fighting champion similar to the Darby Allin, I believe, just, you know, putting on banger matches each week.

And honestly, I believe his promos are getting a little better.

I wish the crowd would hold off on the how you know sometimes with

I thought for sure he was going to step through that table.

Oh, goodness.

And then, I don't want to forget this, but it was Stephen Borden's debut match with Darby Allin.

He tagged with Darby Allin, and it was versus the Don Calluses, Mark Davis, and Josh Alexander, who's been out for, I think, over five months or eight months or something at this point.

Because here's the thing.

You go any longer with Stephen Borden and Darby Allin, you know what I'm going to start calling them? the sons of sting like it's just you know well i was gonna

say if this were if this were south of the border we'd just call him son of sting yeah i mean that's so i still i still i'm getting a chuckle out of our idea that like everybody calls him sting jr and he gets upset that he starts sulking and face paint up in the rafters and

i mean that's talking

Thanks.

Okay, we get into some in-ring action.

We got our TNT champion Darby Allin defending in the championship.

No, because he is in a tag match.

I don't think Punk has ever shied away from trying to spotlight talent in whatever company he's in.

We saw it when he debuted in AEW and called out Darby Allin.

Had banger matches against MJF.

MJF's already a superstar.

Like, all in seemed pretty good for the most part.

I enjoyed, like, about half of it.

I liked the Darby Allin stuff.

Some of the tag team stuff was okay.

Tommaso Ciampa said every time the plane touches down in Texas, he thinks of his AEW debut just a couple of hours from here.

From the kiss of death to Mark Briscoe becoming the first man in AEW history to win the title in his debut match, he's created moments with Kyle Fletcher, Darby Allin, Briscoe, Jericho, and more.

Nothing bigger than Wembley Stadium.

45,000 fans singing and humming along as he stepped on stage.

Swerve Strickland, the new level, defeated the conglomeration to retain the World Trios Championship.

It was a good matchup.

Steve Borden, I'm going to call him the son of Sting, trained by Darby Allin, second-generation wrestler, Steve Borden Jr., Borden said everyone was asking him why now.

He said the truth is fear because he's been afraid of his father's shadow, but when Sting and Allen won the World Tag Team Championships and Borden jumped in the ring, something ignited him that night.
