Darby Allin says Swerve Strickland is not his Blood And Guts Leader.
On this week's edition of AEW Dynamite, it was announced that The Acclaimed and Darby Allin would join Swerve Strickland and Mark Briscoe as members of Team AEW for Blood and Guts this upcoming Wednesday.
Speaking in a digital exclusive following his match on AEW Collision on July 20th, Allin addressed his return from injury, Blood and Guts and AEW All In.
"Blood and Guts is Wednesday. It's kind of funny because I'm talking to my doctors and I just got back from Anarchy In The Arena where I was hung upside down and super kicked in the face and my nose blew up like a faucet. The same nose that I broke getting hit by a bus. It's just sounds like the universe is against you right now. I got out of that match. I was pulling thumbtacks out of my lip and then I told Tony Khan. I want to come back just in time for Blood and Guts. Tonight I had to be on Collision. You know, that's the thing about Collision. The Young Bucks, all these EVPs, they never show up. I thought this was their baby. I thought AEW was their baby. They don't seem to care. I tell everybody they never do radio. They never do TV. They do the bare minimum of... No, man. AEW's my baby. I'll stop at nothing to make sure everybody knows that. Because this is the same company that let my family retire. I bought them a house. There's nothing I won't do for this place. But you know what really pisses me off? Is we got Swerve. I hate all these ads for Blood and Guts. Team AEW led by Swerve. Swerve doesn't leave. He's not my leader. As far as I'm concerned, I was the one who put him in a coffin last year at All In and closed the casket. Not saying I should be main inventing this All In. But you know what? I am back. I want the TNT Championship, I want the World Championship, give me all the belts. As far as Blood and Guts is concerned, I'm gonna put my history aside with Swerve just for one night. So we have bigger fish to kill, and that is the Elite. Jack, I said it out there tonight, I wanna see your ass at Wembley."
