In a dramatic opening to the September 3, 2025, episode of AEW Dynamite, Darby Allin escalated his intense feud with Gabe Kidd and the Death Riders faction by literally dragging Kidd away from the 2300 Arena in a truck after placing him in a body bag. This shocking moment continues Allin’s relentless quest for vengeance against Jon Moxley’s group, setting the stage for high drama as AEW approaches All Out 2025 on September 20[1][2][4].

The night’s explosive start came when Gabe Kidd boldly stepped into the ring, calling out Darby Allin in an attempt to halt Allin’s vendetta against the Death Riders. Before Kidd could fully make his case, Allin launched a vicious attack from behind, triggering a brutal brawl that swiftly spilled outside the arena[1]. The two traded hard-hitting moves, including Kidd dropping Allin on exposed turnbuckles and a Coffin Drop from Allin to Kidd on the floor[1].

As the fight intensified, Allin showcased his dark and wild style by retrieving a skateboard covered in tacks from under the ring, only to have Wheeler Yuta and the rest of the Death Riders intervene. The fresh arrival of AEW stars Hook, Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Willow Nightingale turned the contest into an all-out melee, with chaos reigning both inside and outside the ring[1][2].

Behind the scenes near the entrance ramp, the violent feud took a shocking turn as Kidd attempted to choke Allin and even swung a hammer at him. Allin narrowly escaped and retaliated by trapping Kidd in a body bag, sealing him inside[2]. In a jaw-dropping bit of theatrics, Allin then secured the body bag to the back of a truck and drove off, symbolically and literally removing Kidd from the equation—much to the stunned reaction of the live crowd and viewers alike[2][4].

According to sources close to AEW, this dramatic segment was designed to further cement Darby Allin’s status as one of AEW’s most unpredictable and intense performers, while simultaneously raising the stakes in the Death Riders storyline. A WWE insider familiar with AEW’s booking told Wrestling Headlines that “Allin’s current trajectory is about ramping up to a massive showdown with Jon Moxley, and removing Gabe Kidd so violently keeps the fans hooked and the tension boiling.”[4]

The ongoing feud between Allin and the Death Riders is expected to be a major storyline leading into AEW’s All Out 2025 pay-per-view event scheduled for September 20. Fans can also catch the latest AEW Collision episode on September 2, which featured key developments in other storylines involving top stars like Kenny Omega and Hangman Adam Page[1][4].
