What they're saying

"
There’s been word going around the pro wrestling rumor mill lately about Darby Allin winning people over in AEW due to his fantastic world title reign, which just ended last weekend at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view. Fightful Select added to that story today by specifically highlighting MJF as one advocate for Darby. “Several skeptics of Darby Allin’s title reign applaud him for going the extra mile to make the reign a special one. Sources that Fightful Select spoke to believe that MJF had been supportive of the Darby Allin title reign dating back quite a while.” That sounds nice and all, but the man himself shut that shit down by saying it’s false. @CNviolations @CommunityNotes This is false. — Maxwell Jacob Friedman™️ (@The_MJF) May 29, 2026 Do you think Big Hebrew is telling the truth about his stance on Darby Allin’s world title reign, or is he once again just working the f***ing marks? Let me know in the comments below, Cagesiders.
