Darby Allin on Headlining AEW’s First Dynamite in Seattle

– AEW star Darby Allin spoke to Shawn Garrett for KIRO7 news this week ahead of tomorrow’s AEW Dynamite in his hometown of Seattle, Washington.

Darby Allin on offering Nick Wayne an AEW contract: “To have that moment with him and to be there from the start. I would take him to skate parks when we were younger and all those things. It’s crazy. It’s cool to see the journey, especially for him. I remember when his dad passed away, it was two days later and he was training in the ring and posting videos of himself training and I always thought that was the craziest thing. This kid lives for this.”

On AEW’s first show in Seattle: “It’s a full circle moment, going into Wednesday. It’s insane to think about. This journey of wrestling, all these sacrifices… it’s like you don’t really stop and smell the roses, but this is our first time here.”

On tomorrow’s AEW Dynamite in Seattle, Allin will challenge TNT Champion Samoa Joe for the title. The card will be broadcast live on TBS at 8:00 pm EST.
