Dalton Castle has been sidelined since July 10th when he suffered an injury against Roderick Strong on AEW Collision.
The Wrestling Observer reported that Castle suffered a torn biceps. Tony Khan announced that Castle was out for the rest of the year.
Appearing on Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend, Castle confirmed his injury.
"I tore my bicep. That was back in July," said Castle. "It was the last match I had. The guy I was wrestling, it was just a freak accident. It hurt. I was freaking out. The guy I was wrestling took a cheap shot at me or advantage of the situation. It sucks. I was supposed to go hiking the next day. I lost the match. I lost my hiking trip. Now, I spend every day in physical therapy, and on the weekends, I go antiquing."
Asked if it was his opponent's fault, "No, the injury wasn't his fault. He just didn't back down after it. We were friends, I thought we were friends, me and this guy. I was like, 'Hey, I need a second.' He's like, 'No, no timeouts.' I don't want to get into it. I try not to think about it too much. The time off sucks. I'm just focusing on enjoying the time off and working on getting better. Not watching wrestling and keeping my mind off it. Then, my friends will do something cool and I'll have to watch it. Then I get sucked in and get excited. I recognize that I'm still very much hurt and I get angry. It's this rollercoaster cycle of emotions. It's real fun."
Asked when he might return, Dalton said, "We're projecting end of the year. I'm thinking January, I'm back."
Fightful wishes Dalton the best in his continued recovery.
