One of my favorite TV matches of the year - PAC and Darby had incredible chemistry. Speaking of Darby I really feel bad for him - likely spent Saturday night at the hospital with Steven and now this.

My father who isn’t even a fan of wrestling but a huge golfer stopped and watched it.

u/fatal_fame I’m better than you, and you know it 14d ago

Yeah. PAC spent like the first half of 2026 terrorizing Darby Allin. This great match. Belly to belly suplex into the steel steps. Oh, and let’s not forget throwing him off the stage through burning tables. What great chemistry they had.

Exact same feeling I got while watching it. PAC will always be All Elite

That was a fun match. Loved the golf venue. You have to mix things up once in a while.

If there was ever a match where pocket sand spot was appropriate, this is it 🙂‍↕️

The pocket sand spot from this match was amazing. RIP PAC!

Yeah wrestling in a ring is good, but wrestling in a sand trap? Sign me up!

PAC was always open to new ideas. He was a great worker in WWE but with the bounds loosened, he truly came alive in AEW.

I did prefer there regular match from the beginning of the year but this one was stellar as well. That spot from the balcony was insane.

Love Darby but he was out of line here had to cheat to win

u/Tarus_The_Light I sentence you to a lifetime of mediocrity. 13d ago

One of the funniest things about this match is after PAC threw darby, there was video floating around of him hurrying down the stairs and while it has nothing to do with the match itself it just makes me laugh every fucking time i saw it.
