Darby Allin celebrated TNT championship victory by skateboarding with the belt
Defeating Cody Rhodes to win the TNT championship at last month’s Full Gear pay-per-view marked the most meaningful victory of Darby Allin’s career.
Following the show, Allin returned to his Jacksonville hotel room to decompress. He accomplished that the best way he knew how, which was to get on his skateboard and ride.
“There is a bridge right by the hotel that I like to skate down, so I took the belt and skated with it,” Allin says.
