Tony Khan “pulling the trigger” on top AEW star’s world title run is possible, according to Matt Hardy

AEW President Tony Khan could finally pull the trigger on an All Elite original star for a world title run as per WWE legend, Matt Hardy. The star has been one of the pillars of the promotion for years.

The top AEW star in the discussion is none other than Darby Allin. The former tag team champion has been with All Elite Wrestling since its inception in 2019. He is considered one of the pillars of the company and is also a former multi-time TNT Champion. However, the 31-year-old star has yet to become the All Elite World Champion.

Meanwhile, WWE veteran Matt Hardy believes that Tony Khan could pull the trigger on Darby Allin winning the AEW World Title. Speaking on his Extreme Life With Matt Hardy podcast recently, the legend stated that Darby was reminiscent of Jeff Hardy.

"I got lots of love for Darby. I think Darby is a tremendous person. He's so different and he's so reminiscent of Jeff, he lives in his own universe and I'm so envious of those guys that can do that. As far as him being a world champion, him being an OG, and he does so many things that are so different and spectacular and such a risk taker, I certainly wouldn't rule that out. I could see Tony Khan pulling the trigger on Darby Allin winning the big one at some point." [H/T WrestlingINC]
