Brian Cage Defends Darby Allin After AEW World Title Backlash

Brian Cage responded to critics on X after Darby Allin’s AEW World Championship win, dismissing claims the victory was undeserved or merely transitional. Cage praised Allin as a “phenomenal in-ring worker” who “bleeds AEW,” calling him the “epitome of getting yourself over” and giving the new champion his full stamp of approval while noting Allin’s relentless, creative style and the emotional shock pop of the finish.

Allin captured his first AEW World Title from MJF at Dynamite: Spring BreakThru and has been with the company since 2019, widely regarded as one of AEW’s four pillars alongside MJF, Sammy Guevara and Jack Perry. Sting appeared to celebrate his victory, Allin defended against Tommaso Ciampa on Dynamite, and was confronted by Brody King, who challenged him for the title on next week’s show.
