When asked if other’s egos have resulted in difficulty putting matches together, Allin responded affirmatively. Given the history and dynamics of pro wrestling, though, he has accepted that as an occasional challenge he must face.

“Yeah, absolutely. And that comes [with the territory],” Allin said. “But the thing is, at the end of the day, it’s going to be up to [AEW CEO] Tony Khan with the outcome. So you’re not going to battle this person with like, ‘Yo, let me do this, let me do it.’ It’s at the end of the day, Tony’s going to [make the final call]. So you just work around those. But as for a match, if they’re just so dying to get something in, I have no problem. Just be like, ‘Fine, whatever. I’m not going to fight you on this.’ It’s totally cool, man.”

Looking ahead, Allin will defend the AEW World Championship against MJF at tonight’s Double or Nothing event in Queens, New York. On this occasion, Allin will raise up his title, while MJF puts his transplanted hair on the line.

Elsewhere at Double or Nothing, fans will see several other matches, including a four-way bout pitting AEW Women’s World Champion Thekla against Jamie Hayter, Kris Statlander, and Hikaru Shida. The Stadium Stampede match will likely require the most internal collaboration as it involves 14 of AEW’s toughest men: Chris Jericho, The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin), and The Elite (Kenny Omega, “Jungle” Jack Perry, Matt Jackson, and Nick Jackson) vs The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, and Toa Liona), The Don Callis Family (Mark Davis and Andrade El Ídolo), and The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay).
