Summary

The AEW World Championship changed hands in the main event of Wednesday's Dynamite, with Darby Allin dethroning MJF after a chaotic closing stretch.

The title match had been set for Dynamite earlier this week, and the challenger entered the bout after a pep talk from Sting just before the bell.

Winner

Darby Allin defeated MJF to win the AEW World Championship.

According to the match recap, MJF tried to avoid defending the title at the start of the show, then later used a low blow behind the referee's back during the match. Darby answered with a low blow of his own, followed by a Death Drop and four Coffin Drops before scoring the deciding fall with a headlock takeover.

What Darby Allin's win means for AEW

Darby Allin leaving Dynamite as AEW world champion immediately gives the title picture a new center, especially after MJF had to be beaten through an extended finishing sequence rather than a fluke roll-up. It also gives AEW a major follow-up question for next week, because MJF now has a direct claim to chase the championship he just lost.

Sting's pre-match appearance also added extra weight to the moment. With Darby finally reaching the top title, AEW now has a fresh championship direction built around one of the promotion's longtime homegrown names.
