After the news was revealed on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite that Darby Allin was hospitalized last Wednesday, there is now more information on the situation.
Our Bryan Alvarez reported on Wednesday’s Wrestling Observer Radio that Allin did get hurt in his match with Kevin Knight on last week’s Dynamite, but it’s unclear at what point he got hurt. Alvarez speculated it was on a coast-to-coast dropkick he took from Knight, but couldn’t confirm.
Alvarez said Allin was not in the hospital for the entire week and was cleared to leave, so Allin was eventually able to travel home. The actual injury has still not been revealed or reported.
As far as whether Allin will be able to continue in the Continental Classic, the impression Alvarez got is that when it was said they will get more information on Saturday’s Collision, that was a legitimate statement. It’s unclear whether or not Allin will be able to continue as it all depends on how he is doing.
