Darby Allin’s AEW Return Still Uncertain Amid Mt. Everest Expedition – Darby Allin has not appeared on AEW television since his draw against Ricochet during the Continental Classic in New York City. His absence stems from a personal mission he’s spoken about for years—climbing Mt. Everest.
Allin’s Everest expedition, a physically grueling challenge that typically spans six to ten weeks, has taken priority over his wrestling commitments. The journey requires months of preparation, international travel, and high-altitude endurance, keeping him completely off AEW programming.
Back in January, Fightful reported that Allin had already taken leave from AEW and was not expected to return until Spring 2025. Internally, there was hope he might be back in time for the Owen Hart Tournament. There were also discussions about potentially including him on the Double or Nothing card. However, no firm timeline has been established, and updates on his return have remained scarce.
The lack of a confirmed return date has left fans and AEW officials waiting, with Allin’s high-risk style and connection to the audience making his absence all the more noticeable. His dedication to this extreme goal reflects the same fearlessness he’s shown in the ring.
While the company continues with major events in his absence, Allin’s eventual return is expected to be a major moment when it happens. For now, his focus remains on the summit of Everest—and survival in one of the world’s most dangerous environments.
