Tony Khan heaped praise on Darby Allin’s AEW World Championship reign at the Double or Nothing post-show media scrum, calling him a very special person and saying he gave everything to the title run.
“He’s a very, very special person. He was fantastic as the TNT Champion, he was fantastic teaming with Sting, and he was fantastic as the World Champion. Everything Darby has done for us, he’s done his very, very best.”
Allin won the AEW World Championship from MJF on the April 15 Spring BreakThru episode of Dynamite and made five successful title defenses over Tommaso Ciampa, Brody King, Kevin Knight, PAC and Konosuke Takeshita before losing the belt back to MJF in Sunday’s main event. His reign lasted 39 days. Khan also confirmed that the event was AEW’s best Double or Nothing yet in the HBO Max era in terms of pay-per-view buys.
