Davey Boy Smith Jr gives an update on his health.
On Thursday, Major League Wrestling announced that Davey Boy Smith Jr could not compete at MLW Slaughterhouse and was moved to injured reserve. Smith Jr was scheduled to challenge Alex Kane for the MLW World Heavyweight Title.
Taking to Instagram, Smith Jr revealed that he underwent emergency surgery for appendicitis + appendix removal. He then found out he had diverticulitis and needed part of his colon removed.
From 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.
