AEW’s Darby Allin appears at Nitro Circus, thinks shoulder is fractured

  • Ian Carey

Darby Allin says he’s dealing with an injured shoulder. 

The 30-year-old hasn’t wrestled since WrestleDream on October 1 but did take part in a brawl with Nick Wayne and Luchasaurus on this week’s Dynamite from Rosenburg, Texas. 

Nitro Circus was also in Texas this week and had a show on Thursday in Fort Worth. Allin performed a stunt jump at the event and mentioned his shoulder injury when addressing the live crowd. 

“I’m not doing too good. My shoulder, I think, is fractured,” Allin said before performing the jump. 

“I kind of messed up my elbow pretty bad and last week I had to go train to climb Mount Everest so I haven’t really given my shoulder any time to rest but when I heard Nitro Circus was coming through Texas, I had to come.” 

Allin then proceeded to land on his already injured shoulder when attempting the jump.

Allin also performed for Nitro Circus at Coney Island in September 2022.
