AEW Dynamite: 3 Reasons why Darby Allin is the #1 contender to face Chris Jericho for the AEW World Title

#2 He is over as a babyface

Allin is loved by the fans

Darby Allin is one of the most over babyfaces in AEW right now. It was very evident during his match against Havoc as the crowd was totally behind him. This has almost always been the case with Allin.

Even though he had lost more matches than he won back in his days at EVOLVE, fans cheered for him more and more as they were impressed with how much pain he could endure and the fight that he could put up.

He was the ultimate underdog and when he won against Havoc to seal his spot as the number one contender, fans cheered in support for him – a testament to his popularity. The fans also went berserk when he attacked Jericho with a skateboard to close the show out.

He will now be up against Chris Jericho, who is perhaps the most over heel in the company right now. The fans chanted “Thank you, Jericho” in unison when he was cutting a promo and accompanied by his faction last night on Dynamite. It would be safe to assume that a match between an over babyface and an over villain is certain to steal the show with the fans.
