AEW star and former TNT Champion Darby Allin has talked about the experience of presenting Nick Wayne with a wrestling contract.
Allin presented Wayne – the son of wrestling veteran Buddy Wayne – with an AEW contract in February 2021.
Wayne has yet to make his debut in the company due to his young age, being just 16 years old at the time of being presented with the AEW contract by Allin at a DEFY Wrestling show.
Speaking to Kiro 7 News, Allin opened up about the experience of presenting Wayne with the contract in light of the fact that the two grew up together:
“To have that moment with him and to be there from the start. I would take him to skate parks when we were younger and all those things. It’s crazy.
“It’s cool to see the journey, especially for him. I remember when his dad passed away, it was two days later and he was training in the ring and posting videos of himself training and I always thought that was the craziest thing. This kid lives for this.”
