On the September 11 edition of Dynamite, Darby Allin agreed to put his hard-earned AEW World Championship opportunity on the line against Jon Moxley at the upcoming Dynamite Grand Slam event.
This high-stakes match adds another layer of intensity to an already stacked card. The announcement came after a heated face-to-face confrontation between Allin and Moxley, Allin opened up about his past admiration for Moxley, calling him a hero and a source of inspiration. He recounted a pivotal moment in 2019 when meeting Moxley at an independent show boosted his confidence.
However, the tone shifted dramatically as Allin declared that post-All Out, he no longer aspires to emulate Moxley. This statement seemed to catch Moxley off guard, who initially dismissed Allin’s concerns. The tension escalated when Moxley suggested that Allin should relinquish his title shot, a proposition that Allin vehemently rejected.
Allin questioned Moxley’s sobriety, asking if he had been drinking again. This personal jab led to a heated exchange, culminating in Moxley challenging Allin for his title shot at Dynamite Grand Slam. Allin accepted, closing the segment with a powerful promise to “pull Moxley into the fire” if he attempts to “burn AEW to the ground.”
The matches currently scheduled for Dynamite Grand Slam on September 25th are:
- The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson and Nick Jackson) vs. United Empire (Kyle Fletcher and Will Ospreay)
- Nigel McGuinness vs. Bryan Danielson
- Jon Moxley vs. Darby Allin
