Darby Allin has discussed how the exit of certain stars has helped improve morale backstage in AEW.
Allin recently spoke on “The Ariel Helwani Show,” where he assessed the changes which have taken place within the promotion which have made it a greater place to work.
“No, it’s amazing [morale]. I’m not only saying that. A couple of years ago, it was like, you certainly felt like just this tension, but now it’s like everybody’s on the identical page. [The mindset is] Let’s make this place pretty much as good as possible. And I feel like quite a lot of people truly have to grasp how good they’ve it ’cause Tony [Khan] doesn’t just wants everybody within the ring and of their personal life to be completely satisfied. That is a extremely good energy where it’s like, ‘Hey just everybody be the very best versions of yourself.’ And I feel like, at once greater than ever, everybody’s on the identical wavelength, everybody has the identical goals,” said Allin. “The cancer got cut out. Just egotistical wrestlers that don’t need to lose. Groups of individuals, like there’s quite a lot of people.”
When he was specifically asked if he was referring to CM Punk when talking concerning the “cancer being cut out,” Allin stated that it wasn’t in reference to the WWE star. While not naming names, he said that the people he was talking about were “pretty obvious” names.
“It’s pretty obvious [the names]. It’s just who has the egos? Who doesn’t need to do what’s best for this company? It’s about doing what’s best for this company,” he added. “No, Punk’s [not who I was talking about]. The entire Punk thing was just his own thing. It wasn’t about wanting to win or lose.”
Allin stated that some wrestlers fit into specific pro wrestling firms, and he doesn’t care about what’s happening in other promotions, as he is just focused on what’s best for AEW. The 2-time AEW TNT Champion asserted how he’s willing to lose to anyone and do every thing in his power to make AEW higher.
