During his time with AEW, Rhodes was involved in a fierce rivalry with Allin. The two stars clashed in several matches, creating memorable moments for fans. Allin has been part of AEW since its inception in 2019. He is recognized as one of the promotion’s four pillars, alongside MJF, Jack Perry, and Sammy Guevara.

Recently, Darby Allin lost his chance to challenge Bryan Danielson for the AEW World Title at WrestleDream. For weeks, Jon Moxley challenged the former and eventually confronted him, challenging him for the position of number one contender. Allin earned this spot by winning the Royal Rampage match, which gave him a shot at Danielson's title.
