Atlanta, Georgia – AEW star Darby Allin’s plans to climb Mt. Everest have been put on hold after he broke three bones in his foot during a wrestling match. The injury occurred less than two minutes into his match against “Switchblade” Jay White at AEW Dynamite when he attempted a front flip off the top rope.
Allin, known for his high-flying moves, landed awkwardly, causing the injury that led him to limp through the rest of the match. Despite the pain, he continued to wrestle against White for 10 more minutes, ultimately being pinned after a Blade Runner move from his opponent.
This setback comes after Allin had previously injured his back in a retirement match against Sting, where he flipped off a ladder and fell through glass. Despite his injuries, Allin was determined to climb Mt. Everest, with only six months of training under his belt.
Now sidelined due to his foot injury, Allin remains positive and even plans to have skateboard legend Tony Hawk perform a trick off his cast for charity. Despite the setback, Allin remains determined to tackle Everest in the future and is already looking ahead to his next challenge.
With a resilient spirit and a determination to overcome obstacles, Darby Allin’s journey from the wrestling ring to the mountainside serves as a testament to his unwavering passion and dedication to his goals.
