“I do, but I don’t. I honestly just want to disappear from the world of wrestling [when his career is over]. I don’t want a whole lot to do with it when I’m retired from the in-ring. It’s fun to coach people, but I don’t think I would have the patience for it, with the egos and stuff." He said. [H:T/ TJRWrestling]

Darby Allin is set to face Jon Moxley at AEW WrestleDream

Darby has been feuding with Jon Moxley ever since he made his return at the All In pay-per-view in July. The two first squared off against each other in a 5v5 Lights Out Steel Cage match at Forbidden Door which Darby's team won. Their second clash happened at the All Out pay-per-view in Toronto last month.

Both stars gave it their all in an intense Coffin match which Moxley ended up winning with some help from a returning Pac. The two are now set to settle their score at the upcoming AEW WrestleDream pay-per-view. The match is scheduled to be an "I Quit" match.

It will be exciting to see if Darby Allin can finally beat Jon Moxley and put an end to their rivalry.
