Darby Allin finally pins top AEW star for the first time in his career at WrestleDream 2024

AEW WrestleDream saw Darby Allin get a personal achievement, earning a massive win in the process. Despite fighting against the odds, Darby was able to take down one of the most powerful men on the company's roster.

Darby and Brody King have quite a history when it comes to their on-screen characters in the Jacksonville-based promotion. While Brody has generally come out on top in each of their matches, it was only in the Coffin match back in 2022 that Darby was able to take a win. However, it should be noted that the victory did not come from a pinfall, which is arguably more difficult to do when the opponent is someone like Brody King.

However, this year's WrestleDream had Darby finally doing the near impossible and pinning his arch-enemy. Near the end of an exceptionally tough match, Darby was able to execute a coffin drop and pin Brody for the win.
