AEW’s top risk-taker, Darby Allin, was the obvious choice for a crossover with Shark Week.
Allin will appear as part of Discovery’s famous week-long shark marathon, the channel announced Tuesday.

It’s teased that he’s specifically going to have an “epic close encounter” as part of the show “Caught! Sharks Strike Back,” which is scheduled to air on July 24.
A first look at the episode will air on the July 23 episode of AEW Dynamite.
Allin has been out of the AEW ring since late 2024, staying away from competition to climb Mt. Everest. He reached the top of the mountain in late May.
The former TNT Champion, known both for his risky stunts both inside and outside of the ring, initially intended to climb Mt. Everest in 2024, but missed the climbing season due to a foot injury.
