Darby Allin recently appeared on the DDP Snake Pit podcast to discuss various topics. 

During the show, he recalled how he joined AEW when the promotion first launched in 2019. 

“At the time, I was signed with another little promotion. The moment I heard Cody [Rhodes] was interested, long story short, I paid $12,000 to get out of my contract. I took a loan out and I remember I used to hit Cody up like every day, just blow his phone up, and he would never really answer.”

“All I heard, when they were promoting it, were the words ‘Creative Freedom.’ I was like, ‘That’s where I need to be.’”

Allin also explained why he didn’t want to be part of WWE at the time. He felt if he was signed with WWE, he would be put into a box by being in the cruiserweight division.
