Darby Allin has been a person of his word with regards to his AEW World Championship reign, taking over anyone and everybody who has called him out. The most recent challenger was a person he knows thoroughly in PAC on Fairway To Hell edition of “AEW Collision,” and after a brawl saw the first-ever involvement of a golf bunker, Darby managed to flee with the title in tact.
With the No Count Out stipulation added on the last minute, Darby decided to begin the match on the indoor golf course contained in the SoFi Center. He managed to hit a Code Red and a Jon Woo Kick that saw PAC fly right into a golf bunker, but because the motion moved to the opposite side of the green, PAC got his revenge by hitting a Belly-To-Belly Suplex and a Gorilla Press into the bunker, in addition to locking within the Brutalizer within the sand because the match entered the business break.
The 2 men brawled back to the ring through the business, and when the ad break ended, PAC had tied Darby to the turnbuckle using the tag rope. PAC went for his Lariat but Darby dropped right down to counter and hit the Scorpion Death Drop to earn a two count. The challenger fired up as Darby went up top and landed an Avalanche Falcon Arrow which earn PAC a near fall, and he got confident to where he got a table from underneath the ring, but he missed the Shooting Star Press to the surface.
Darby locked within the Scorpion Death Lock contained in the ring but PAC made it to the ropes, but as Darby went for the finish, the Death Riders got here out to distract him. PAC took advantage because the Death Riders built a stack of 4 tables in the doorway way, with Darby taking a Tombstone Piledriver on the ring steps as that went on. PAC would carry Darby as much as the balcony, and despite Darby putting up a fight, PAC threw him off the balcony and Darby crashed through two of the 4 tables below.
PAC ran right down to get the win but in some way Darby kicked out, causing the Death Riders to distract the referee so the AEW World Championship belt was within the ring. Nevertheless, when PAC went to hit the champion, Darby sprung up, hit PAC with a Low Blow, and finished the job with a Coffin Drop to once more retain his title.
