AEW star Darby Allin recently opened up about the backstage environment of the company. He has been one of the few homegrown stars who has managed to hold on to the incredible opportunities he has had. Over time, he has grasped what business is. Despite being only a few years in the pro wrestling industry, he has already started to earn the reputation of a mentor backstage.

Over the last couple of years, the Jacksonville-based promotion had a lot of issues backstage. Not every argument was documented or reported, but the lack of organization during their programs gave a hint of the tension backstage.

While speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show, former TNT Champion Darby Allin claimed that AEW has demolished the cancer of the promotion. He talked about how the company entailed egoistic wrestlers, who refused to be team players, but it is cancer-free right now.

"The cancer got cut out. Just egotistical wrestlers that don’t want to lose… That’s the thing I was saying earlier—with wrestling, with climbing Mount Everest—it kept me so grounded and level-headed. And at the end of the day, this is all staged. It’s the greatest thing in the world, but it’s staged. So if you’re going to have an ego about that, get out of the f*cking sport," he said.

AEW star Darby Allin to take on Jon Moxley in an 'I Quit' contest

Jon Moxley and Darby Allin have been feuding for more than a year. At All Out Toronto, the two stars tried to decimate each other in a 'Coffin Match'. While the Relentless star was seconds away from winning the contest, the returning Pac helped the One True King emerge victorious.

The duo will face each other once again in an 'I Quit' contest at WrestleDream. Both stars have clearly stated that neither of them will be quitting.

It will be interesting to see what will happen at the upcoming pay-per-view.

Tejas has been an AEW writer at Sportskeeda Wrestling since 2021. Possessing a degree in Food Processing Technology, it was his brother who introduced him to Sportskeeda, and he has never looked back since.

Tejas’ writing style is analytical and descriptive style, mostly sticking to statistics. He believes in thoroughly checking all statistics and information before using them in his articles to ensure his readers get nothing but the best and most accurate stories. He also does not indulge much in speculation in his content.

His all-time favorite wrestler is Roman Reigns for his journey from being one of the most unlikable babyfaces at the start of his career to one of the greatest modern WWE superstars. If Tejas ever got the chance to go back to the Attitude Era and manage a superstar, it would choose high-flying, risk-taking diminutive entertainer Spike Dudley. Tejas would assure him that he would be involved in long-term storylines, something that he wasn’t part of during his time.

In his free time, Tejas enjoys singing and learning new things.
