Darby Allin stretchered out after pyro explosion on AEW Dynamite

"

Now that Darby Allin is officially booked in a Falls Count Anywhere match against TNT Champion Kevin Knight at All In London on Aug. 30, the former AEW world champ said he’s done trying to blow up Knight until the bell rings for their match. The only problem with Darby’s vow, of course, is that Knight never agreed to follow the same path. With that in mind, check out this booby trap he set up for Darby involving a pyrotechnics malfunction on tonight’s (Aug. 19) episode of Dynamite. Darby didn’t realize he was walking right into a dangerous explosion. It looks like @DarbyAllin was just caught in @Jet2Flyy's explosive trap!
