Even before he stepped foot inside the ring against CM Punk in Chicago, Darby Allin was one of the hottest talents in AEW. After the match, though, he is certain to be a household name in professional wrestling for years to come.

As reckless and relentless as he can be, there is a certain quality to him that sets him apart from anybody else inside the squared circle. The man even got people in Chicago to chant his name, as he was wrestling CM Punk!

A future champion in AEW, Darby Allin, will go down in wrestling history as one of the most unique characters to ever step foot inside the wrestling ring.

#3 AEW Women's World Champion - Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D

CM Punk made his stunning return to professional wrestling at AEW Rampage: The First Dance on August 20th. The very first sentence he spoke had a very prominent name drop - Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D.

In the months leading up to her AEW Women's World Championship victory over Hikaru Shida, and even ever since Baker has elevated her entire division as well as the title. That's no knock on Shida's work through the pandemic either, but Britt has just taken the game to an entirely new level, and she's just getting started.
