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

#1 Exposure for Allin

The best in the world at what he does

Chris Jericho is in his late-40s now. He is the first-ever AEW Champion but we all know that his role is to catapult young Superstars into stardom in the remaining few years that he has under his belt.

Jericho is arguably the greatest Superstar of this decade as he has been successfully able to reinvent himself time and time again. The AEW Title is a lot more prestigious on his shoulder than it would have been had anyone else won it.

One can feel that the idea is not only to elevate the value of the title but also the challengers to it. AEW Creative see potential in Allin and realize that with a little push, he could be a megastar for the company.

Pitting him up against Chris Jericho is a perfect litmus test, as this match would give him more limelight than ever before. Although it is unlikely that Jericho would lose the title to Allin, a good performance from him could get him even more over with the fans, which would then allow AEW to have him in the title picture in the long-term.

A great stage for a long-term booking.
