Shawn Spears recently shared a tweet where he denies his part in the backstage assault of Darby Allin. A group of masked guys assaulted Allin during the latest episode of AEW Dynamite and fans are certain that it was the Pinnacle faction.
After Darby revealed he accepted MJF's challenge during a backstage interview, a black limo stopped in front of the Daredevil. A group of people came out of the car and started assaulting Allin.
In the end, a masked guy with a blazer showed up to choke Allin with his own skateboard. It was quite obvious that the group was the Pinnacle and the last man that came out was the Salt of the Earth.
