Darby Allin got his fight.
Coming off a tag team loss to Ricky Starks last Saturday on AEW Collision and a loss to Swerve Strickland on AEW Dynamite, Darby Allin wanted a challenge on the July 29 episode of AEW Collision.
He got his fight in the form of Minoru Suzuki.
Allin immediately took the battle to Suzuki, even interrupting "Kaze Ni Nare." Suzuki fought back and battered Allin, but in the end, Allin was able to overcome by rolling through a rear naked choke, pinning Suzuki's shoulders to the mat.
It is none other than Minoru Suzuki who has answered Darby Allin's challenge for a fight!

After the match, AEW TNT Champion Luchasaurus and Christian Cage appeared on the big screen with Christian saying Allin wouldn't get near the AEW TNT Title as long as he holds it.
Allin is scheduled to challenge Luchasaurus for the AEW TNT Title at AEW All Out. He earned his shot by winning the Royal Rampage. Suzuki was also part of Royal Rampage.
