[Watch] Major AEW star's amusing reaction to being asked to sign the WWE Championship belt

For many aspiring wrestlers, the WWE Championship represents the most sought-after accolade. However, it may not have been the title Darby Allin was expecting a fan to hand him during AEW Dynamite, as told by his own reaction.

Darby is on the hunt for a world title in his own right, confirmed to be challenging for the AEW World Championship at Double or Nothing.

Goldberg wouldn't be the only major name on Darby's resumé if such a clash were to happen. He has faced the likes of Jeff Hardy, Jon Moxley, and Cody Rhodes in the past.
