In the realm of work safety at Tony Khan’s AEW, a backstage sign reading “0 days without incident” would be fitting. From the company’s inception, controversy has surrounded not only the inexperience of some performers but also the style of the veterans, many of whom favor high-flying and daring moves. While entertaining when executed correctly, the downside is the frequent occurrence of accidents in the ring.

The situation has escalated to the point where fans are criticizing AEW for fostering a hazardous work environment. In particular, fans have been criticizing Tony Khan and AEW’s safety precautions, especially as a former TNT Champion seems sidelined with a neck injury.

However, the daring escapades took a toll on Allin, as reported by Bryan Alvarez on the F4Wonline Board. It seems a neck bump into the ropes during the match caused some real trouble for him. 

Fans, expressing their frustration in a Ringside News Instagram video, emphasized the importance of better safety precautions. The caption says, “#DarbyAllin was apparently injured during this spot on #AEWDynamite.” It’s also a concern that echoes previous discussions about Tony Khan’s safety rules.

The extent of Allin’s injury remains uncertain, leaving us to wonder if he’ll have to take some time off for recovery. Here’s hoping for a swift and complete comeback for the fearless performer.
