Darby Allin is known for pushing boundaries — and that includes helping his brother stage one of the wildest marriage proposals ever caught on camera.

Ahead of his upcoming match against Gabe Kidd at AEW Worlds End, Allin posted a chaotic new video to Instagram, showing him lighting his brother on fire during a planned engagement stunt. The idea? Propose while fully engulfed in flames. The result? Not exactly what they had in mind. Darby captioned the post:

“MARRIAGE PROPOSAL GONE WRONG! 🔥
My brother wanted me to light him on fire and he asked his girlfriend to marry him. She got cold feet and took off running instead of putting him out with the fire extinguisher.
Maybe it wasn’t to be…..”

In the footage, Allin’s brother kneels — fully ablaze — holding a ring. But instead of accepting or spraying him down with the fire extinguisher in her hand, the would-be bride bolts from the scene.

As if the moment wasn’t surreal enough, Darby cheekily added: “Stop, drop, and roll.” This unhinged video is just the latest example of Darby’s extreme lifestyle, blending reckless stunts with raw emotion — both in and out of the ring. And with AEW Worlds End on the horizon, fans are now wondering what kind of chaos Allin might bring to his match with Gabe Kidd.

Was this just Darby being Darby… or a warning sign of things to come?
