Darby Allin Praises Shaq’s Appearance in AEW, Wants to See More People Cross Over

– Speaking to Sportskeeda in an interview with Riju Dasgupta, AEW TNT champion Darby Allin shared his thoughts on Shaquille O’Neal and other potential crossover celebrity angles in AEW. Shaquille O’Neal made an appearance on last week’s episode of Dynamite, which garnered 1.2 million viewers for the segment. Below are some highlights.

Allin on Shaq appearing on Dynamite: “Yeah, I would say he kicked a**. I want to see more crossovers with other forms of media. I’m a big fan of all that stuff, which why I tried to bring in Tony Hawk and Steve-O or Travis Pastrana; as much as these guys get me hyped, I want to bring them into the world so that all the other wrestling fans can see what they do.”

His thoughts on other wrestlers potentially crossing over into AEW: “Absolutely, because half the people in the world are complete jokes. Half the wrestlers are complete jokes that don’t take it seriously. So, I would love to have someone else step into our world and take it seriously and kicking a**.”
