“I couldn’t believe my eyes,” said witness and wrestling enthusiast Emily Carter. “They’d been unstoppable together for years. It was like watching a marriage break up in front of our very eyes.”
The betrayal came as Smith and Anderson were mere moments away from victory over their opponents, the surging duo of “The Charismatic Enigma” Ethan Young and “The Mastermind” Chris Taylor. As Anderson prepared to deliver his finishing move, the Black Arrow, Smith suddenly struck him with a devastating low blow.
“I was just as shocked as the audience,” said AEW Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes. “I’ve known Darius personally for years, and I never saw this coming. It’s a game-changer for the entire division.”
The turn has sent shockwaves through the AEW locker room and the wrestling community as a whole. Smith, once hailed as a role model and pillar of the company, is now being vilified as a heartless opportunist. Anderson, meanwhile, has been met with an outpouring of support from fans and fellow wrestlers.
“I don’t know what got into him,” Anderson said in an emotional post-match interview. “We’ve been through so much together. I thought we were unbreakable.”
The implications of Smith’s turn are far-reaching. It could signal the end of one of the most successful tag teams in AEW history and could have a major impact on the company’s plans for the future.
“This is a major turning point for Darius,” said wrestling analyst Bryan Alvarez. “He’s been a fan favorite since the beginning. Now, he’s going to have to work incredibly hard to get the crowd back on his side.”
As investigations continue into the reasons behind Smith’s betrayal, AEW fans are left to grapple with the ramifications of this unprecedented event. The once-unbreakable bond between Smith and Anderson has been shattered, leaving behind a trail of shock, anger, and uncertainty.
