Appearing on The Ariel Helwani Show, AEW star Darby Allin
noted the difference in the locker room from a few years
back to today, saying that now everyone is on the same page
and the vibe is amazing.
“I’m not just saying that. But like you say, like a few
years ago, it was like, you definitely felt like just this
tension. But now it’s like, everybody’s on the same page,”
Allin said.
He said that a lot of people truly have to understand how
good they have it in AEW, because AEW President Tony Khan
wants everyone to be happy.
“And I feel like it’s like right now, more than ever,
everybody’s on the same wavelength. Everybody has the same
goals,” he continued.
Asked by Helwani what changed, Allin answered point blank.
“The cancer got cut out,” he bluntly said.
Asked to elaborate, Allin attributed it to “just egotistical
wrestlers that don’t want to lose,” including people who
“came in” over the previous years.
Helwani specifically asked if he was referring to CM Punk
but Allin said no, noting the two are friends. He said some
people work out better in AEW, some people work out better
in WWE or NJPW or TNA and that’s just the way it is.
“And at the end of the day, this is all staged. It’s the
greatest thing in the world, but it’s staged. So if you’re
going to have an ego about that, get out of the f*cking
sport, go be in the UFC,” Allin said. “This is about having
fun. This is about like just putting on a good energy and
like, it’s like, come on, man, just stop.”
