Darby Allin has successfully defended the TNT Championship eight times since beating Cody Rhodes for the title six months ago at AEW’s Full Gear pay-per-view. He’ll look to make it nine defenses this week when he takes on Miro, a man who has not been pinned since first jumping to AEW last September. The match was announced last week with the stipulation that, if Allin was unable to compete, he would have to relinquish the title to “The Best Man.” Allin wound up in a brawl with Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky earlier in the show that saw him get thrown down a set of concrete stairs and injure his shoulder.

No forfeit! Not my fault he signed the contract then immediately threw himself down a stairs. https://t.co/BXuaxOLfqj

Denial will get you hurt bad. Ask emo face-paint Daddy @Sting if you can win. If he wants to protect you he’ll tell you it’s over too. https://t.co/rDrA2FaiZr

You say Darby’s this & Darby’s that I know exactly who I am.

Do you know who you are Miro? You show up the hottest free agent just to talk about video games and be some best man. You’ve gotta be the most underwhelming Thing I’ve seen.

You ain’t taking shit away from me. https://t.co/yMR9K5TcEN
