Sting’s retirement match took place on March 3rd at AEW Revolution. The Icon and Darby Allin successfully retained the AEW World Tag Team Titles by defeating The Young Bucks in the main event of the show.
The bout featured several memorable spots. However, fans are mostly talking about Allin landing on the glass panel from the ladder. The former TNT champion got multiple stitches after the match.
In an interview with TVInsider, AEW President Tony Khan was asked about Darby Allin’s dangerous spot at Revolution. Khan stated that he allows wrestlers to do dangerous moves if there is a safe way to do them. Khan added that Allin is always finding a safe way to perform dangerous stunts.
“It has to be something safe. Whenever a wrestler comes in and wants to try something, especially dangerous, I just want to know that there is a safe way to do it. Darby Allin, every time he has ever had an idea for a wild highspot or a crazy move, he has had a rationale and plan. Darby doesn’t take these things lightly. Nobody would have attempted the amount of crazy, wild, death-defying stunts Darby has done in his tenure and made it this far unless they are a methodical, organized planner. In Darby’s case, he is fanatical about finding a way to pull off the impossible and do these incredible, seemingly death-defying stunts. He always finds a safe way to pull them off. He always has a rationale for why he is able to do it. That’s what impresses me—the way Darby plans his matches and his biggest moves.”
Darby Allin goes through the glass!
