AEW superstar Darby Allin has always proved he is more than just a wrestler. He had a long run with the TNT Championship and gave fans memorable matches against the likes of Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, MJF, and many more. The major risk-taker in AEW has used his finisher, The Coffin Drop, in various versions. The one directly inside the casket against Ethan Page was the memorable Coffin Drops.

However, in the latest episode of AEW Dynamite, Allin delivered a fantastic Swanton Bomb on Jeff Hardy. He performed it from the top of the ladder directly on Hardy through the chairs. The move was an extremely high-risk spot and would have ended Allin’s career if not properly executed.

Tonight on dynamite, people getting paralyzed, That'll put some butts in the seats. It worked for ECW, because it was new to an American crowd. They also had talent that could do more than risky moves & great story telling for it's time. Someone needs to find the new it factor.
