#4. AEW's enigmatic star Darby Allin
AEW's most enigmatic wrestler, Darby Allin, has had a stellar 2021. Flanked by wrestling legend Sting, the young star has taken on all comers, including bouts with MJF and CM Punk.
From the half-face paint, daredevil attitude to the mysterious black-and-white persona, it is a cool X-factor that has helped Darby Allin create a bond with the AEW audience. The homegrown AEW wrestler is also lauded for being one of the company's four pillars. At only 28 years old, the former TNT champion is already arguably a made man in AEW and it would a good move to use his star power to elevate even younger talent such as Hook.
Hook vs. Darby Allin brings together two wrestlers who'd rather let their actions do the talking. Not only are they hugely popular with the AEW audience, their match promises to be a hard-hitting affair. Both young stars won't back down from the challenge and it will be interesting to see how Hook can keep up with Darby's non-stop offense.
