Darby Allin was identified early on as one of the pillars of AEW, and has solidified AEW's belief in him by delivering in the ring and waving the flag outside the ring.
With Bryan Danielson retiring as a full-time performer, Darby believes he's the man to step up and take the mantle as the face of the company.
"I really feel like I'm ready for that spot. I say this all the time, but all the crazy stuff I do outside of the ring is not just for laughs and giggles. It actually makes me mentally stronger. Breaking down those barriers. If I can survive this stunt, then why can't I be the face of a company? If I can survive Everest, why can't I be the face of a company? It's just getting stronger mentally. I firmly believe when you risk your life on a monthly basis, it's going to make you pretty strong mentally and I feel like I'm ready to be the face of this whole company," Darby said while speaking to D. Scott on JAMZ96.3.
Allin is set to climb Mount Everest in April 2025.
