Lance Archer has been one of the most dominant wrestlers on the AEW roster ever since his debut. After winning the Casino Battle Royal at All Out, Archer delivered a solid performance against the World Champion Jon Moxley in an ultimately losing effort on the AEW Dynamite Anniversary Show.

But despite his power, Archer has not won a championship in AEW yet. Whereas Darby Allin, who is relatively small in stature and light in weight, holds a belt of his own. Now that the World Title picture is centered around Moxley and Kenny Omega, Archer may seek the TNT title and Darby Allin instead.

In the TNT Championship Tournament, Archer reached the finals after devastating performances against Marco Stunt and Dustin Rhodes, only to come up short against the inaugural champion Cody Rhodes at Double or Nothing, after boxer Mike Tyson prevented Jake "The Snake" Roberts from interfering on Archer's behalf.

The brute force of Lance Archer against the sheer will-power of Darby Allin will make for a perfect David vs Goliath narrative, a formula which usually delivers, and the involvement of Jake Roberts could add another layer to an already intriguing match-up!
