Darby Allin was legitimately hospitalized following his November 26 match against Kevin Knight on AEW Dynamite, and his status in the Continental Classic tournament is now up in the air.
The former TNT Championfamous for putting his body on the linesuffered real injuries during the bout, and its not part of any storyline. On the December 3 edition of Dynamite, Excalibur announced that Allin was not cleared to compete and that further updates would be shared on Collision.
Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Radio confirmed the injury was legitimate and clarified rumors about the extent of Allins hospital stay.
As for where things stand now, Allin has been discharged and is back home, but his future in the tournament is unclear.
Allin is part of the Gold League in AEWs Continental Classica loaded block featuring Kazuchika Okada, Kyle Fletcher, Speedball Mike Bailey, PAC, and Kevin Knight. As of the December 3 Dynamite, Fletcher leads with 6 points, Okada has 3, and Allin sits at 0 after his loss to Knight.
If Allin is pulled from the tournament, AEW may be forced to award forfeits to his remaining opponents, which would drastically shake up the Gold League standings. Fans will likely get a final answer during Collision in Columbus, Ohio.
