New AEW TNT Champion Crowned on First AEW Dynamite of 2023

This week’s AEW Dynamite ended with Darby Allin pulling off a shocking upset and defeating Samoa Joe to become a two-time TNT Champion. Allin lost to Joe in dominant fashion back in early December but decided to shake things up by attacking “The King of Television” before the bell rang. That included whacking him with a his skateboard and hitting him with a splash off a ladder on the entrance ramp. Joe eventually regained control, but Allin hit consecutive Coffin Drops to keep the big man down for a three count.ย
