Darby Allin defeated PAC in the main event of AEW Fairway to Hell on Saturday night, retaining the AEW World Championship in one of the most brutal matches of the year. All Elite Wrestling delivered a chaotic, hardcore-style war from the SoFi Center in West Palm Beach, with Allin surviving a 25-foot drop, crashing through four tables, and absorbing punishment from “The Bastard” before scoring the winning Coffin Drop to close the show.
Darby Allin Survives Brutal Spots To Beat PAC
The Fairway to Hell main event lived up to its name, with Allin and PAC turning the SoFi Center into a battlefield. Allin took some of the most extreme bumps of his career, including the 25-foot drop and a sequence where he crashed through four tables stacked at ringside. Despite the damage, “The Relentless One” found a way to mount his comeback, and the Coffin Drop sealed his second successful AEW World title defense in the same week. Earlier in the week on Dynamite, Allin had retained against Kevin Knight, making the win over PAC his second title defense in a matter of days.
What’s Next For Darby Allin After Fairway To Hell
Allin closed AEW Fairway to Hell standing tall, but his work isn’t done. The May 13 episode of Dynamite will see Allin defend the AEW World Championship against Konosuke Takeshita, who is replacing Kazuchika Okada due to Okada traveling to Japan on family business. Takeshita represents the Don Callis Family and presents an entirely different style of threat than PAC, making the upcoming Dynamite main event another high-stakes test. With AEW Double or Nothing on the horizon and several top contenders circling, Allin’s title reign is being tested almost weekly, and the toll of matches like the one against PAC is exactly the kind of damage challengers will look to exploit.
