When it comes to AEW originals Darby Allin has been with the company from the beginning and he’s had a consistent presence on TV over the last three years. However, it seems that Darby might want to take a step back at some point.
The former TNT Champion recently appeared on The Sessions with Renee Paquette, and he explained why he thinks some time away from TV could be good for him.
“It’s weird, I feel like people take a lot of granted and I feel like I have to disappear. Maybe, I’m hoping I blow up in a Jeep one day [laughs]. I just have to disappear and be gone, really f**k off and be gone. In the spring, I feel like I was just floating around. It was weird. People would say, ‘Oh, you wrestled CM Punk in his first match back. You have all these pivotal moments.’
Then they’re like, ‘Darby kind of fell off. Darby is not being used right. Darby’s not this, Darby’s not that.’ I was just trying to maneuver around and stay relevant without disappearing, it’s the ultimate challenge. I’ve been there since the beginning of TV and I’ve never had that consistent time off. Sometimes, you just have to remind a motherf**ker who you are and jump off something huge. I’m extremely happy, in the ring and outside the ring. I think everything happens for a reason. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I’m going to go to outer space and purposefully not come back.”
