Darby Allin mentions top WWE RAW star on AEW Dynamite

Darby Allin has just referenced a popular WWE Superstar tonight on Dynamite as he talked about his time with AEW in the past.

This would be Cody Rhodes. Allin got into a heated conversation with The Young Bucks after they tried to take out Tony Schiavone. He then spoke his mind regarding the EVPs, and how he felt that they were deviating away from the mission statement of the company.

He claimed that The Bucks had been abusing their position as executives and giving preferential treatment to their friends and went as far as saying that the company should be known as "All Friendship Wrestling" instead.

He then claimed that at the beginning of the company, he was glad that there was an EVP who had a "brain," and he was not talking about Kenny Omega. Not only was he solely taking shots at the Bucks, but he was referencing WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes.

"Thank God at the time, there was an EVP here with a sense of brains and I'm not talking about Kenny Omega."

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.

Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
