Darby Allin has been sidelined since the Big Business television special in March, where he suffered a broken foot during a singles match against Jay White. This injury derailed his plans to climb Mount Everest, a challenge he had been enthusiastically promoting for nearly a year.
Adding to his misfortunes, Allin was hit by a city bus in New York. Fortunately, the incident was minor, and he was able to attend a Broadway show afterward. In an interview with The Daly Migs Show, he mentioned that he is not expected to be medically cleared for wrestling until June. Despite this, he hinted at a possible appearance at the AEW Dynamite episode on May 15th in his hometown of Everett, 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 I might be able to make it. As long as there’s no buses, I’m good.”
Allin also shared more about the severity of his injury, revealing that his foot broke in the first minute of his match with White.
“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.”
