During a media scrum ahead of “Full Gear”, Darby Allin was asked why he chose to join AEW over the WWE. Here’s what he had to say:

Creative freedom, hands down. A lot of people if they see me at first, they don’t know how present me. AEW is like ‘How do you want to be presented?’ instead of ‘This is how we’re going to present you.’ Give me that creative freedom. WWE would have probably made me a creepy figure in a boiler room jacking off or something. No, I’m fine. I want to skateboard and represent that culture.
