AEW’s Brody King attacks Darby Allin at Seattle autograph signing
In what appears to be the furthering of a growing feud in AEW, Brody King attacked Darby Allin at a Seattle autograph signing Saturday, putting him through a table.
Before Allin’s four-hour signing at the city’s Southcenter Mall, King appeared, attacked Allin, put him in a sleeper and then power bombed him through a merchandise table:

Allin eventually recovered and completed the event as planned. AEW retweeted the video above and it appears likely there will be a follow-up on either Dynamite or Rampage soon.
The incident follows the Royal Rampage for an AEW interim World title shot on Rampage two weeks ago when King and Allin were the last two men in the match. King put Allin to sleep and then dropped him on the outside of the ring to win the match and earn the shot at this past Wednesday’s Dynamite.
King was not successful in defeating Jon Moxley, leading to Allin and Sting coming out after the match in an untelevised segment. After Malakai Black had come out to check on King, Allin and Sting did the same with Allin telling King he belonged in AEW and asking for a handshake.
The House of Black member wasn’t interested in what Allin and Sting had to say:
