Darby Allin has issued a bold challenge to Jon Moxley, demanding an ‘I Quit’ match at the upcoming WrestleDream event next month. This announcement came during AEW Dynamite, following a dramatic Women’s Championship main event and continued tensions between Allin and Moxley, underscoring their intense rivalry.
Conflict Heats Up Following AEW Dynamite Main Event
The latest AEW Dynamite saw Kris Statlander successfully defend her AEW Women’s Championship against Mira Shirakawa in the main event. Wheeler Yuta celebrated ringside after Statlander’s victory, but members of the Death Riders silently exited, hinting at a brewing reaction to Statlander’s possible involvement with the group.
Statlander reacted violently by attacking Wheeler Yuta with a clothesline. When Marina Shafir charged at Statlander, the champion dodged and then confronted Jon Moxley, flipping him off before leaving the ring. Shortly after, Darby Allin appeared holding a flamethrower, a reference to a previous encounter where Allin set Moxley on fire at the All Out pay-per-view.
Allin addressed his recent defeat to Moxley at All Out and made it clear he would not back down. He formally challenged Moxley to an ‘I Quit’ match at WrestleDream, elevating this rivalry with a highly personal and extreme stipulation. This challenge highlights the ongoing animosity between Allin and the Death Riders leader.
