Darby Allin has provided an update on when he may be cleared to compete once again.
Originally set to take time away to climb Mount Everest, the former TNT Champion had to abandon the attempt as he suffered a broken foot at the Big Business special of AEW Dynamite. While appearing on The Daily Migs Show, Allin was asked if there was any chance that he would appear at the May 15th taping of Dynamite, which will take place in his home state of Washington:
“Unfortunately, my foot is not scheduled to heal until I’d say June. So if I did roll up, it would just be with a broken face and a broken foot waving to the crowd, which may not be the worst thing. I’ll see. I trained in Everett, Washington, so it would be like an ultimate homecoming of sorts. That’d be really cool. May 15, I gotta see….I think might be able to make it. As long as there’s no buses, I’m good,”
Also in the interview, the former Tag Team Champion detailed what happened in the match with Jay White and confirmed he needed multiple metal plates inserted into his foot as part of the recovery process:
“I was all excited. I was like, yeah, I’m gonna kick Mount Everest’s ass. This is gonna be awesome. Then two weeks before I was supposed to fly out, I broke my foot wrestling at the show. I broke my foot in the first minute of the match and I wrestled an extra 13 minutes on the broken foot. It was so hard, it was miserable. Then I got three metal plates put in my foot, so I’m recovering from that.”
