It seems there’s never a dull moment for AEW’s daredevil Darby Allin. Known for his high-flying stunts and bone-chilling antics, Allin’s latest escapade might just be his most dramatic yet—getting hit by a bus in New York! Yes, you read that right. In a twist that sounds more like a movie script, Allin took to Instagram to share his brush with the not-so-gentle giant of city transit, all while nursing a broken foot.
The post, which could only be described as peak Darby Allin, read: “That awkward moment when you’re crossing the street in New York with a broken foot and get hit by a bus. Least I can have a good time with @raymond_pettibon_ and catch a Broadway show lol.” Only Allin could turn a near-tragic mishap into an evening of arts and culture.
Before this latest hurdle, 2024 was shaping up to be a banner year for Allin. He and the legendary Sting clinched the AEW Tag Team Championships in a whirlwind Tornado Tag Match against Big Bill and Ricky Starks. They maintained their championship glory at AEW Revolution by putting down The Young Bucks, sealing a perfect win rate as a team before Sting hung up his boots. The baton—or in this case, the bat—was passed to Allin, but not for long. It swiftly found its way into the hands of Jay White, adding fuel to their fiery rivalry, especially after White’s antics at “Big Business” left Allin sidelined.
Now, as Allin recovers from his foot injury and his unexpected encounter with a bus, fans can only wonder what’s next for this thrill-seeker. Will he make a triumphant return to the ring, or will he take a detour into more unexpected adventures? One thing’s for sure: Darby Allin never fails to keep the wrestling world on its toes.
