Darby Allin captured the AEW World Championship by defeating MJF in the main event of AEW Dynamite Spring BreakThru on April 15.

The title change followed a chaotic night that saw MJF repeatedly attempt to avoid defending the championship. Despite those efforts, he was ultimately forced into the match, setting the stage for a decisive main event.

Once the match began, MJF tried to gain control early using underhanded tactics. Allin responded quickly, shifting the momentum and keeping the pressure on the champion. From that point forward, Allin maintained a fast pace and stayed aggressive, not allowing MJF the opportunity to slow things down.

The closing sequence saw Allin take full control, delivering multiple Coffin Drops to secure the pinfall victory. The finish marked the biggest win of his career and ended MJF’s reign as AEW World Champion.

This victory represents a major milestone for Allin, who has been a key figure in AEW since the promotion launched. After several previous attempts at reaching the top, he finally secured the company’s top title in a high-profile main event.

MJF’s title run comes to an end after a stretch that featured several notable defenses. His strategy of trying to avoid the match earlier in the night did not change the outcome, as Allin capitalized when the opportunity came.

With Allin now holding the AEW World Championship, the result immediately shifts the direction of AEW’s main event scene. Attention now turns to potential challengers as a new title reign begins.
