When it comes to channeling passion and energy elsewhere other than their core sports, wrestlers are considered pros. It doesn’t imply that they ain’t responsible for their main craft, rather it means that they possess enough mental and physical stamina and enthusiasm to invest in other fields despite nailing their game totally inside the squared circle.

There are many WWE wrestlers who tried their hands at a number of projects, including acting, business ventures, etc. However, Tony Khan’s promotion isn’t very backward in that term as the 30-year-old Darby Allin recently disclosed his next big mission outside the squared circle.

Darby Allin made a name for himself in AEW for his unique daredevil gimmick and incredible display of skills. He eventually became one of the key pillars in the Jacksonville-based promotion. However, currently, he’s aiming to expand his horizon by climbing the magnificent Mount Everest next year.

Yes, you heard it right. The daring young star disclosed his plan in an exclusive interview with TMZ Sports. Mount Everest, being the world’s highest peak, must bring some tough challenges to anyone that dares to conquer it. It, in fact, took countless lives over the years.

That being said, the death-defying Darby Alin is more than ready to take up any daunting task in his life in order to move higher than his fellow wrestlers, both in sports and other activities.

The mountain enthusiast noted, “That’s why it’s so important for me to meet up with guys like [Travis] Pastrana, and make stuff happen. Do stuff that no wrestler’s ever done before. The thing I’m going to be doing next year that no wrestler’s done before is climbing Mount Everest. You heard it here first.”

But how is his schedule going so far? Let us take a quick closure.

Will Darby Allin be able to win the AEW World Title?

Darby Allin is among those very few pro wrestlers who challenged death numerous times for the sake of fans’ entertainment. He is widely known for putting his body in line to stand tall in front of his opponents inside the ring. Currently, the major challenge for the 30-year-old is slated to appear in the main event of the 2023 Double or Nothing pay-per-view on May 28.

Allin has his eyes set on the top prize that will push him to surpass all other 3 pillars of the company comprising Jack Perry, Sammy Guevara, and MJF in a fatal four-way match. Now, the question is, can he be the next World Champion defeating these three powerful men in his way?

Well, that’s something we all are in the dark about. But given his immense potential and life-risking moves, it won’t be very unlikely for AEW to place him in the World Champion scenario sooner or later.
