Darby Allin AEW return update has surfaced, providing fresh details on the fan-favorite wrestler’s status following his time away from the ring. As anticipation builds for the upcoming All In event in Texas, new reports indicate Allin’s comeback may be closer than previously expected.
Darby Allin has been absent from AEW since December 22, 2024, when he competed against Richochet. His hiatus was prompted by a personal mission to climb Mount Everest, a goal he accomplished during his time away. After reaching the summit, neither Allin nor AEW offered updates, leaving fans uncertain about his condition or plans for returning to professional wrestling.
Backstage Insights on Allin’s Imminent AEW Comeback
A recent report from Fightful Select, led by Sean Ross Sapp, has clarified Allin’s situation within AEW. Initial expectations suggested Allin would return for the Owen Hart Tournament, but backstage sources soon recognized that this timeline was overly optimistic. Instead, insiders now confirm that Allin’s return is considered imminent, with the door open for his involvement at All In Texas.
Further details from the report state that Darby Allin emerged from his Everest expedition without significant injury and remains in athletic condition. While no definitive creative storylines have been revealed for his return, AEW sources have left the possibility open, delighting fans eager to see him back in action.
