Summary

Darby Allin and Gabe Kidd will settle their score on Wednesday, March 18, during AEW Dynamite in a coffin match. Kidd issued the challenge at the AEW Revolution post-show press conference, and Tony Khan confirmed the matchup.

The matchup follows a trios tornado match at AEW Revolution where Kidd was with Clark Connors and David Finlay, while Allin teamed with Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong. That six-man contest ended with Allin, Cassidy, and Strong getting the victory.

The current Dynamite card also includes a No Holds Barred match between Marina Shafir and Toni Storm.

Coffin Match implications for AEW Dynamite storytelling

Darby Allin and Gabe Kidd were on opposing sides at Revolution, so the coffin match gives their feud a clear one-on-one end point while keeping the rivalry tied to the same card era.

The timing gives AEW Dynamite on March 18 a hard-hitting anchor, and because Kidd and Allin already have existing momentum from Revolution, the stipulation adds a narrative payoff that could make the rest of the show feel like a direct follow-up.
