Darby Allin's Bold Moves: From Everest to the Ring
AEW Star Unfazed by Critics, Inspired by Everest Climb
Darby Allin, a standout star in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), is preparing for a monumental match at WrestleDream 2025. The fearless wrestler remains undeterred by criticism, focusing instead on his journey and the growth of AEW since its inception in 2019.
AEW's Growth and Fan Reactions
AEW has seen significant success, including a TV deal with Warner Bros. Discovery. However, fans have been vocal with their opinions, often comparing AEW to its competitors. Allin, who joined AEW in 2019, remains proud of his association with the company.
"When I was on top of Mount Everest, it made these problems seem so small."
Climbing Everest: A Life-Changing Experience
Allin recently climbed Mount Everest, a feat that put his career challenges into perspective. Speaking to Newsweek Sports, he shared his gratitude for AEW's achievements, including setting a record for a wrestling show in just six years.
Allin returned to AEW in July after his Everest climb, participating in several high-intensity matches. The climb was a significant personal goal, and he approached it with a sense of excitement and acceptance.
The Rivalry with Jon Moxley
Allin is currently locked in a heated rivalry with Jon Moxley, culminating in an "I Quit" match at WrestleDream. During a recent show, Allin attempted to throw a Molotov cocktail at Moxley, but a security guard intervened. The incident highlighted the unpredictable nature of Allin's performances.
"What's normal to me is crazy to everyone else."
Moxley, who held the AEW World Championship for 273 days, has faced criticism, but Allin respects him as a leader. "He's willing to do anything for the company," Allin said, acknowledging their differences but admiring Moxley's dedication.
AEW's Bright Future
Allin is confident that his match against Moxley will be unforgettable. "It's going to get insane," he predicted, praising other AEW stars like "Hangman" Adam Page and Will Ospreay for their leadership.
Allin shares a strong bond with AEW founder Tony Khan, appreciating the opportunities provided, including the chance to climb Everest during his wrestling career. "He wants you to focus on your outside life and what makes you happy," Allin said.
The Road to WrestleDream
As fans anticipate the WrestleDream 2025 event, Allin hopes his match against Moxley will provide a fitting conclusion to their intense feud. "I don't know what to expect," he cautioned, urging viewers to expect the unexpected.
