Talking about financial struggles before joining AEW, Darby Allin disclosed repeated attempts to contact Cody Rhodes. Darby Allin is one of the most promising young guns on the AEW roster. Imbibing a gothic look infused with a mythical aura, the skate-boarding star has taken the pro-wrestling realm by storm with his daredevil style of wrestling. Hired by Tony Khan in April 2019, the 29-year-old quickly established himself as an underdog who never gives up. Darby Allin made his AEW debut at Fyter Fest 2019, where he wrestled current WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes to a time-limit draw. The audience was quick to embrace the half-painted warrior and he hasn't looked back since. Appearing on DDP's Snake Pit podcast, Darby disclosed constantly texting Cody Rhodes to find out the whereabouts of his status with Tony Khan's promotion: "At the time, I was signed with another little promotion. The moment I heard Cody 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," said Darby. (H/T: Sescoops) The daredevil also shed light on the deal-breaking words that affirmed his desire to join AEW: "All I heard, when they were promoting it, were the words ‘Creative Freedom.’ I was like, ‘That’s where I need to be,” he added. ????@Fireboy987Darby Allin brought Cody Rhodes to his limit.
