Tony Khan Addresses The Darby Allin Glass Spot At AEW Revolution

Following the controversial glass spot performed by Darby Allin at AEW Revolution, Tony Khan addressed the approach to approving such high-risk maneuvers in his promotion. ## While speaking with TVInsider, Khan emphasizes safety as the top priority. He only approves moves after wrestlers, particularly those known for taking risks like Allin, can demonstrate a safe execution plan. ## "It has to be something safe," Khan stated. "Whenever a wrestler comes in and wants to try something, especially dangerous, I just want to know that there is a safe way to do it." ## Khan acknowledges Allin's meticulous approach to his craft. "Darby Allin, every time he has ever had an idea for a wild highspot or a crazy move, he has had a rationale and plan. Darby doesn't take these things lightly."## Khan highlights Allin's successful track record with such moves. "Nobody would have attempted the amount of crazy, wild, death-defying stunts Darby has done in his tenure and made it this far unless they are a methodical, organized planner."## While acknowledging the inherent danger, Khan expresses his confidence in Allin's ability to perform such moves safely. "He always finds a safe way to pull them off. He always has a rationale for why he is able to do it. That's what impresses me, the way Darby plans his matches and his biggest moves."## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Adam Page Turns Heel, Crushes Swerve Strickland, Sets Stage for Chaotic Revolution Title Match

AEW fans expecting a heartfelt update from "Hangman" Adam Page on his potential participation in the upcoming AEW World Championship match at Revolution were left stunned and disappointed. Appearing with a crutch, Page first declared his inability to compete, only to follow up with a brutal attack on his scheduled opponent, Swerve Strickland. ## Using the crutch as a weapon, Page struck Strickland down twice, the second blow drawing gasps from the crowd. Shockingly, Page then announced he not only would compete at Revolution but would walk out as champion.## This drastic shift in Page's character, from beloved "Hangman" to ruthless aggressor, is sure to send shockwaves through the wrestling world. The attack also plays into the hands of defending champion Samoa Joe, who gleefully witnessed the entire scene unfold.## Last week, it appeared Joe himself might have injured Page during a match, further fueling speculation and intrigue. Tonight's events, however, revealed a more calculated and sinister side to Page, seemingly manipulating the perceived injury to gain an advantage.## With the Greensboro crowd firmly behind Strickland, the stage is set for an electrifying and unpredictable triple-threat match at Revolution. This unexpected heel turn from Page adds an entirely new layer of drama to the championship picture, leaving fans eager to witness the fallout and the potential consequences for the fallen "Hangman."## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
