[edit]

On the May 15 episode of Dynamite, Allin made a surprise return, coming to the aid of Bryan Danielson and FTR (Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood) from an attack from The Elite (Kazuchika Okada, Matthew Jackson, Nicholas Jackson, and Jack Perry). It was later announced that Allin would replace the injured Eddie Kingston to team with Danielson and FTR on Team AEW to face The Elite in Anarchy in The Arena at Double or Nothing on May 26, where Team AEW was defeated.[75] [76] On the July 10 episode of Dynamite, Allin returned by attacking Brandon Cutler and sent a warning to The Elite.[77] On July 24 at AEW Dynamite - Blood & Guts, Allin was part of Team AEW and defeated The Elite in a Blood and Guts match.[78] Two days later, Allin won a 20-man Royal Rampage Battle Royal for a shot at the AEW World Championship match at Grand Slam.[79] On August 25 at All In, Allin was unsuccessful in capturing the AEW TNT Championship from Jack Perry in a Coffin match.[80] On the September 11 episode of Dynamite, Jon Moxley, who had been calling out Allin for the past number of weeks, demanded that Allin hand over his AEW World Championship opportunity so that Moxley could take the championship from Bryan Danielson, but Allin refused; Moxley instead offered to earn it by challenging Allin to a match at Grand Slam on September 25 with the championship opportunity on the line, which Allin accepted. At Grand Slam, Allin was defeated by Jon Moxley and lost his right to challenge for the AEW World Championship. On October 12 at WrestleDream, Allin defeated Brody King.

Pro Wrestling Noah (2023)

[edit]

On January 23, 2023, at The Great Muta Final "Bye-Bye", Allin and Sting made their Pro Wrestling Noah debut, teaming with Keiji Muto in Muto's final match as his Great Muta character.[82] Allin, Sting, and Muta defeated Akira, Hakushi, and Naomichi Marufuji in a trios match.[83]

Professional wrestling style and persona

[edit]

Ratsch incorporates many elements of his personal life into his wrestling persona; a longtime fan of punk rock, Ratsch's current ring name Darby Allin is derived from the frontman of the Germs, Darby Crash, and the transgressive musician GG Allin,[6] while his signature face paint, in which he paints half his face in a skull design, is born out of Ratsch's sentiment that he has been "half dead" since surviving the car accident in which his uncle died.[84] Another aspect of Ratsch's background he incorporates into his wrestling is skateboarding, as he rides a skateboard to the ring during his entrance, and occasionally uses it as a weapon. Previous to his career taking off in professional wrestling, Ratsch also sought to be a professional skateboarder. Ratsch was initially hesitant to integrate his skateboarding into his pro wrestling work, fearing that both the wrestling and skateboarding fandoms would perceive it as inauthentic; however, he overcame his doubts following encouragement and advice from Chris Jericho.[85][86]

Personal life

[edit]

Ratsch lives a straight edge lifestyle,[87] which he adopted in part due to a traumatic incident during his childhood: as a five-year-old, Ratsch was a passenger in a car when his uncle was driving while intoxicated; his uncle lost control of the vehicle and was killed in the resulting crash.[84]

In the early 2020s, Ratsch developed an interest in mountaineering and announced to the public that he would attempt to climb Mount Everest in March 2024. Ratsch spent much of late 2023 and early 2024 training to ascend Everest, however, in his final professional wrestling match before he was due to depart for Everest, Ratsch legitimately broke his foot during a match. Ratsch stated afterwards he would endeavour to climb Everest during the 2025 climbing season.[88][89]

On November 21, 2018, Ratsch married fellow wrestler Priscilla Kelly, who currently wrestles for WWE as part of the NXT roster under the name Gigi Dolin.[90] On August 10, 2020, the couple announced they were divorcing.[91] In December 2020, Kelly confirmed during an appearance on Vickie Guerrero's Excuse Me podcast that they were no longer married, but remain friends.[92]
