Darby Allin, the adventurous AEW star known for his daring escapades, has recently conquered a new challenge after successfully climbing Mount Everest in May 2025. Following this incredible achievement, Allin is now set to face yet another daunting endeavor—shark encounters.
On July 24, Allin will be featured in the highly anticipated Shark Week programming on Discovery, specifically in a special titled “Caught! Sharks Strike Back.” The announcement from Shark Week’s official account on X hints at an exhilarating experience where Allin “experienced an epic close encounter” with sharks during filming. Viewers can also catch a sneak peek of the special on July 23 during the AEW Dynamite episode.
The promotional message regarding Allin’s Shark Week appearance playfully poses the question: “Will it take a bite out of him?” This adds an exciting element of suspense for fans and viewers alike.
Prior to his shark adventures, Allin was last seen on AEW programming on December 22, 2024, where he faced Ricochet in the AEW Continental Classic Tournament. It remains uncertain whether he will make a brief return to AEW before the Shark Week special airs, but fans are certainly eager for updates.
The combination of Allin’s fearless persona and thrilling experiences in extreme environments continues to captivate audiences, making his Shark Week segment a must-watch event. His unique blend of wrestling and extreme sports undoubtedly brings a refreshing perspective that appeals to a diverse fan base.
