Darby Allin is one of the four pillars in AEW, and someone who has made a big impact since joining the company as he has uniquely connected to the crowd. His cool persona has had fans gravitate towards him, while his high-risk, daredevil attitude inside the ring has led to some amazing moments.
Allin has been involved in some insane spots, not just in AEW, but throughout his entire career. He is never afraid of putting his own body on the line for the sake of entertaining a crowd, and that has led to him having an excellent highlight reel of dangerous moments.
10 Going For A Ride (AEW Dynamite, 2/10/21)
Bodybags are a big part of the character that Darby Allin has created, as he often brings them into his storylines for backstage segments that he tapes. It is always interesting to see, but during his feud with Team Taz he ended up on the receiving end of this.
It saw him take an insane bump as he was placed into a bag that was attached to a car which then drove away. The spot saw Allin getting dragged along the tarmac, which was a crazy and unique bump.
9 Dropping Into A Coffin (AEW Fyter Fest, 2021)
The Coffin Drop is one of the most popular finishers in AEW, and there's no doubt that it is a brilliant-looking move, but it can also be used for crazy bumps. One example of that came when he faced Ethan Page, which saw the two of them end up in a coffin together.
It was a crazy bump for him to take, as Darby headed to the top rope and hit his finisher, leaping backward straight through a coffin as he crashed into his opponent.
8 Parking Lot Attack (AEW Dynamite: Anniversary)
Backstage attacks often lead to some brutal spots, and that was the case when a group of masked wrestlers jumped Darby Allin, as they left him beaten and bruised. The entire beatdown was vicious, with all of them getting their licks in during this segment.
But the craziest moment took place when they pulled down a set of metal guard rails, just leaving them laying on the floor. Allin then got launched into the air to land right down onto them, which was a painful-looking bump.
7 An Exploding Cracker Barrel (AEW All Out, 2019)
All Out 2019 was very early on in Darby Allin's mainstream push, and he, Joey Janela, and Jimmy Havoc were given the chance to just be as crazy as they could in a triple threat. This one was sponsored by Cracker Barrel, and Darby ensured they got their money's worth.
He grabbed a literal barrel with their sponsorship all over it and leaped backward to hit the Coffin Drop onto Janela outside the ring. He was laid on the stairs, only he moved and the barrel exploded as Allin smashed onto the steel.
6 A Sore Ankle Lander (AEW Double Or Nothing, 2020)
During the ladder match at AEW's Double Or Nothing in 2020, Darby Allin opted to take a huge bump, but it was a situation where there was no reward at the end of it. He scaled a ladder with his skateboard in hand, looking to drop down while standing on it, to crush an opponent through a bridged ladder.
When he jumped, there was nobody home, and that led to an extremely painful-looking bump as he landed directly onto his feet, which would have jarred his ankles and knees at the same time as he crashed through the steel with his board.
5 Steel Chair Coffin Drop (MLW, Never Say Never)
Darby Allin likes to jump off tall things, and that is what he did during this MLW tag team match. He ended up scaling the wall of the upper level where the fans were sitting, and he then proceeded to leap backward, landing on his opponents in the ring with a Coffin Drop.
It was a major jump to make and the risk factor of him missing the distance was high, and could have been catastrophic. Thankfully, he landed on his opponents, but considering he also had a chair strapped to him, the bump was even more brutal.
4 Leaping From A Balcony (PWG, Mistery Vortex 6)
Putting Darby Allin and Joey Janela into the same ring is always going to be a recipe for carnage, and that was the case when they competed in PWG, as this match was filled with crazy spots. But one of the craziest moments saw them scale to the top of a balcony and then leap off together.
It was a situation that shocked the entire crowd, with the two men crashing through a pile of tables underneath to break their landing slightly. But it was still a huge distance, and that is why it was such a nasty-looking bump.
3 A Smashing Crash (AEW Revolution, 2021)
Darby Allin was heavily involved in creating this cinematic match that saw him and Sting face Team Taz, which is likely why he went all out with this bump, to make it memorable. Anytime glass is involved the risk factor increases, and that was clear in this match as he got launched through a mirror.
Not only that, but behind him was just a brick wall, meaning there was nothing good for him to land on, instead it was an even worse impact. It was just two brutal bumps wrapped up in one, which makes this one stand out.
2 Landing On Chairs (AEW Dynamite, 5/11/22)
One of the craziest stunts that Darby Allin has been involved in recently came during a dream match against Jeff Hardy. This was a match that was always going to create a crazy spot, and they didn't disappoint, with Allin making a table out of hairs to prop up Hardy on the outside.
He then scaled a ladder inside the ring to deliver a Coffin Drop, and Darby smashed directly into the chairs. With all of them being stood up it was an incredibly painful landing and one that looked awful from a fan's perspective.
1 Launched Down A Flight Of Stairs (AEW Dynamite, 3/23/22)
Most of the time when Darby does something insane, there is something for him to crash into or a person to hit which does soften the blow slightly. That wasn't the case in this tornado tag team match, as he ended up being launched down a flight of stairs.
Darby went at real speed here and didn't protect himself, taking every bump with pace as he went further down the stairs without stopping. It was a brutal-looking spot that seemed to be one that would hurt in every point of your body, yet he showed his toughness by continuing after this.
