Darby Allin is still your AEW TNT champion.
Allin defeated NJPW superstar KUSHIDA in the main event of this evening’s Dynamite from Fresno California. KUSHIDA put up a great fight, and had worked Allin’s arm to set him up for the hoverboard lock, but late in the match the champ countered a submission attempt and cradled KUSHIDA for the victory.
