Darby Allin says TNT title match will main event AEW WrestleDream

It appears that we now know which match will be going on last at AEW WrestleDream.

During the Countdown special for the pay-per-view, Darby Allin said his match against Christian Cage will be the main event of WrestleDream. Allin is challenging Christian for the TNT Championship in a two-out-of-three falls match.

“You haven’t seen sh*t until you’ve wrestled Darby in Seattle,” Allin said. “At WrestleDream — in the main event — you are fighting someone that you’ve never seen before.”

Allin also said he’s waited to be in the main event of an AEW pay-per-view “for so long.”

WrestleDream is taking place from Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle this Sunday (October 1). Seattle is Allin’s hometown. The PPV is also a homecoming for Washington natives Bryan Danielson, Swerve Strickland, and Nick Wayne.

Christian vs. Allin going on last will only add to the speculation that WWE Hall of Famer Edge (Adam Copeland) could be making his AEW debut at WrestleDream. Edge’s WWE contract expires at the end of September. He was removed from the WWE SmackDown intro for Friday night’s episode.

The full Countdown special is available to watch below:

The WrestleDream main card begins at 8 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday. There will also be a Zero Hour pre-show starting at 6:30 p.m. Eastern.
