Jon Moxley vs. Darby Allin set for AEW Dynamite Grand Slam
A new match with World title implications is set for AEW Dynamite Grand Slam on September 25.
As announced during Wednesday’s Dynamite, Darby Allin will no longer be challenging Bryan Danielson for the AEW World title at Grand Slam, instead putting his guaranteed shot on the line against Jon Moxley at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Moxley and Allin agreed to the bout during an in-ring confrontation Wednesday with Moxley insinuating that Danielson was too injured to defend his title in two weeks. Moxley had called out Allin for a talk when he made his return several weeks ago.
Later in the same episode, Nigel McGuinness issued a challenge to Danielson for Grand Slam to add further intrigue to the title situation ahead of the Grand Slam stadium show.
Allin earned the guaranteed World title shot by virtue of winning the Royal Rampage battle royale in July. Moxley ended his association with Danielson by turning against the current World Champion at last Saturday’s All Out pay-per-view.
Moxley is a three-time former AEW World Champion, while Allin has yet to claim the promotion’s top prize.

- AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson vs. Nigel McGuinness in a non-title match
