Last week on AEW Dynamite, the annual Continental Classic tournament began with a first-round Gold League match featuring Darby Allin and Kevin Knight. Kevin Knight emerged victorious, earning three points and preparing to face Kyle Fletcher on tonight’s Dynamite. Unfortunately, Darby Allin suffered an injury during the match and was taken to the hospital, as announced by Excalibur on tonight’s show. While there hasn’t been an official update on Darby’s condition, Excalibur revealed that further information will be provided on this week’s episode of Collision.
Typically, injured competitors are removed from the tournament, but last year, when Juice Robinson was hurt, Commander replaced him in the Continental Classic. Fans are hoping for a speedy recovery for Darby Allin.
Fan Take: This injury news is significant for AEW fans because Darby Allin is a fan-favorite with a unique style that brings excitement to the ring. His absence could alter the tournament’s dynamics and open up opportunities for new rivalries, making the season unpredictable and thrilling.
