AEW has a new torch bearer.
And his name is Darby Allin.
The Mount Everest-climbing, four pillar-concept-hating, day one veteran in All Elite Wrestling finally reached the pinnacle, capturing the AEW World Championship with a victory over MJF in the main event of AEW Dynamite Spring BreakThru in Everett, WA.
During the April 15 installment of the weekly AEW on TBS prime time Wednesday night program, Allin was given his title shot that he earned with a victory at AEW Dynasty, and took full advantage of it. After getting a pep talk from Sting before going to the ring, Allin blew through MJF in a quick match, capturing the title and celebrating with Sting, and the entire AEW locker room, as the 4/15 broadcast came to a close.
