The intense rivalry between Darby Allin and Jon Moxley erupted into violence at New York Comic Con, just a week before their scheduled “I Quit” match at AEW WrestleDream. During an AEW panel at the convention, a heated verbal exchange between the two wrestlers quickly escalated into a physical fight. The altercation created a chaotic scene before security could separate them.
Their feud escalated at All Out on September 20, 2025 when they faced each other in a Coffin match. Pac attacked Darby Allin, leading to Jon Moxley defeating Allin. Later in the event, Allin emerged from the coffin backstage, struck Moxley with a steel pipe, enclosed him in a body bag, and set the bag on fire.
On the September 24 episode of Dynamite, Allin, holding a flamethrower, confronted Jon Moxley and challenged him to an “I Quit” match at WrestleDream. The match was subsequently made official.
AEW WrestleDream will take place on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, Missouri. The “I Quit” match between Allin and Moxley stands out as potentially one of the most violent contests of the night.
The announced card for AEW WrestleDream is as follows:
- “I Quit” Match: Darby Allin vs. Jon Moxley
- AEW World Championship: “Hangman” Adam Page (c) vs. Samoa Joe
