Darby Allin escalated his feud with Jon Moxley at AEW All Out on Saturday, attacking the former champion backstage and briefly setting him on fire.

The angle took place in following the duo’s coffin match earlier in the night.

Moxley was gloating backstage beside the coffin when Allin emerged from inside it and attacked him with a metal pipe. Allin then zipped a prone Moxley into a body bag.

After dousing the bag with an accelerant, Allin set it alight. Backstage personnel immediately extinguished the flames with a fire extinguisher as Allin was dragged away by security.

The attack was a direct retaliation for the conclusion of their match. Moxley defeated Allin after a returning PAC interfered, attacking Allin and placing him inside a body bag. PAC then put Allin in the coffin, allowing Moxley to shut the lid for the victory.
