Somehow, Darby Allin is relatively okay.
During the main event of AEW Revolution, Allin jumped from a ladder in the ring and went through a pane of glass set up on the outside. The glass shattered on impact and blood was seen pouring out of Allin's back after the move.
Our own Bryan Alvarez provided a surprisingly positive update on Allin's condition during today's episode of Wrestling Observer Live.
Alvarez said:
I looked at this guy's back last night and it was like he was wearing a red cape.
I thought, 'Oh my god, they're not going to let him back in the match.' They did. He's still streaming blood everywhere out of his back.
He needed *pause* 12 stitches.
I heard that and I was like, 'Okay, hold a second, you mean 1200 right? 12,000?'
12 stitches. I don't know how but thank god, and that's the story. So, he's on his way to Everest.
"Impossibly, Darby only needed 12 stitches," Alvarez also wrote to his subscribers on X.
Allin has one more match scheduled in AEW before he leaves to tackle Mount Everest. He's scheduled to wrestle Jay White on March 13 in Boston at AEW Big Business. Mercedes Mone is believed to be making her debut on the show.
