Main Event for AEW WrestleDream Apparently Revealed – The main event for AEW WrestleDream has been apparently confirmed, as Darby Allin announced during the Countdown special for the pay-per-view that his TNT Championship match against Christian Cage will headline the event. This bout will be a two-out-of-three falls match.
In his statement, Darby Allin emphasized the significance of the main event status, expressing his excitement for the opportunity and mentioning how he has waited a long time to be in the main event of an AEW pay-per-view. Being in his hometown of Seattle for WrestleDream adds an extra layer of significance to the main event for Allin, making it a special moment for him.
“You haven’t seen sh*t until you’ve wrestled Darby in Seattle,” Allin said. “At WrestleDream — in the main event — you are fighting someone that you’ve never seen before.”
The decision to place Christian vs. Allin in the main event spot also adds to the speculation surrounding the potential debut of WWE Hall of Famer Edge (Adam Copeland) in AEW. Edge’s WWE contract was set to expire at the end of September, and his removal from the WWE SmackDown intro has fueled speculation about his future.
With WrestleDream being held in Seattle, the hometown of Darby Allin and other Washington natives, the event promises to be a memorable one for AEW fans, and the main event clash between Christian and Allin is sure to be a highlight of the evening.
