Is Darby Allin Overrated? Sammy Guevara Proves It Again The AEW World Championship defense at Collision 2026 is over, and once again, Darby Allin has come out on top. But let's be real: this isn't just a victory for Allin; it's another reminder that his reign as champion is starting to feel like a bit of an embarrassment for the promotion.
When your biggest challenges are coming from Sammy Guevara, who has been repeatedly knocked down by Darby but keeps coming back with renewed vigor and innovative match ideas (like last night's double-elimination tag team title eliminator), it's time to ask if Darby Allin truly deserves to be the face of AEW. Sammy Guevara is not just any mid-card wrestler. He's a visionary, pushing the boundaries of storytelling in wrestling by constantly reinventing his character and presenting fresh concepts that challenge the status quo. His latest challenge wasn't just about winning another gold belt; it was about proving that he has what it takes to be the next generation of AEW stars.
Yet again, Darby Allin snatched victory from the jaws of innovation with a predictable finisher -- the Coffin Drop. This isn't about who's better in-ring or more charismatic; this is about who's moving wrestling forward and who's stuck in old patterns. Sammy Guevara's persistence and creativity have been the driving force behind some of AEW's most memorable moments, while Darby Allin's reign has felt increasingly stale compared to his predecessor, Hangman Page.
Furthermore, the repeated defenses against Sammy Guevara are starting to look like a case of putting out fires rather than addressing deeper issues. If AEW wants to build towards something truly special and innovative, they need to start recognizing talent that is actively pushing boundaries instead of coasting on past laurels. Who among you believes Darby Allin deserves another shot at proving himself against fresh competition?
Who thinks it's time for a new champion who can bring the wrestling game into the future? Let's hear your thoughts and see if anyone has the courage to stand behind an increasingly stagnant title run.
