Davey Boy Smith Jr Health Update: Had Appendicitis And Diverticulitis, Underwent Emergency Surgery

Major League Wrestling made the announcement on Thursday that Davey Boy Smith Jr was unable to compete at the October 14th MLW Slaughterhouse event. Smith Jr was set for an MLW World Title opportunity against the current champion Alex Kane. MLW placed Smith Jr on their injured reserve list.

Davey Boy Smith Jr took to social media and posted that he had to undergo emergency surgery for appendicitis and had to have his appendix removed. He was also diagnosed with diverticulitis which resulted in part of his colon being removed as well.

From Davey Boy Smith Jr:

 I wanted to inform everyone officially I needed to have Emergency surgery — –‍ ‍– late last night for appendicitis + appendix removal, to find out it was diverticulitis as well. –I have had part of colon removed with some of my appendix as well for the procedure ——. Folks this was one of the most painful experiences of my life, but I’m glad I got it done. A burst appendix can lead to serious complications too. I’m sad to announce my withdrawal from the @majorleaguewrestling World Title Match vs. Alex Kane this weekend in Philadelphia as well–. Hopefully I can get this same opportunity in the future when I’m back healthy, and so sorry to my fans, these things happen and was not something I ever want to endure again! Trust me! The was a 12/10 in the pain scale. Arigatou. I’m in stable condition now, but I am still in immense pain ——I’ll keep everyone posted with updates.

Thanks for everyone reaching out to me also.
