Darby Allin says he might be able to make it, as long as there aren't any buses.
Darby Allin had been set to climb Mount Everest, but he suffered a broken foot on the March 13 episode of AEW Dynamite, where he faced Jay White. Allin's mountain-climbing adventure has been postponed due to the injury, and he continues to recover. The former TNT Champion was also recently hit by a bus, and he sustained a broken nose.
Speaking on The Daly Migs Show, Darby Allin was asked whether he would be at the May 15 episode of AEW Dynamite, as it would be a homecoming for him in 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 might be able to make it. As long as there’s no buses, I’m good," Allin said.
Earlier in the interview, Allin discussed his excitement about climbing Mount Everest before he recalled breaking his foot on AEW Dynamite. He noted that he wrestled for 13 minutes on the broken foot. Allin then stated that he got three metal plates put in his foot.
"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," Allin said.
Allin last appeared on the March 27 episode of AEW Dynamite. There is no word on when he will return to AEW programming. Fightful will provide more information as it becomes available.
