Often deemed a man of few words, AEW's Darby Allin cut an emotional promo on the May 12th episode of Dynamite earlier this year. It was the same night that brought an end to Darby Allin's TNT Championship reign.

One couldn't have expected him to lose the title the way he did. One of AEW's biggest signings, Miro, decimated him throughout the match before making Allin pass out to the Game Over submission, snatching away the gold in the process.

Following the match, a heartbroken Darby Allin explained why the TNT Championship meant so much to him. He stated that he didn't need to win any other top titles in the company. Allin further expressed his desire to become the TNT Champion again:

"When I became TNT Champion I told everybody it was the only championship that meant anything to me, and I mean that 100%. People ask me "When are you gonna win the big one? When are you gonna win the AEW Heavyweight Championship? I looked them dead in the eye and said "I don't need that s***. I need the TNT Championship. I don't need to collect any other belts from anywhere else in this world. I need the TNT Championship, and I guarantee you, every single one of you here this is not the last time I am TNT Champion. Thank you for all of the support, it means the world to me," said Darby Allin.
