However, he has recently suffered a broken foot. With that, it seems he will now have to put his Everest dreams on hold for another year. It is now to be seen if Allin will have anything to say about the matter in the upcoming days.
What injury did Darby Allin suffer?
Recently, Darby Allin had a match scheduled against ‘Switchblade’ Jay White on AEW Dynamite. During that, Allin did a front flip off the top rope. However, his landing didn’t go out as expected, and he crashed into the floor and was seen limping. However, he continued the match and was soon pinned by White.
Meanwhile, after the match, it was known that Allin had broken three bones in his foot. Also, the wrestler himself took to his ‘X’ handle to confirm the news. He shared a post by TMZ Sports and captioned the post, “Unfortunately the foots really broke from Wednesdays match. Everest will have to be next year”.
It is worth mentioning that White and Bullet Club Gold were supposed to give Darby a kayfabe ankle injury following the match. It was because this was supposed to be his final match before he was set to go on his quest to climb Mount Everest on March 27. Thus, the injury angle would have worked to write him off the television.
However, now it seems that Allin has suffered a legitimate injury. Meanwhile, there’s no information available on the extent of his injury. But, certainly, he will not be able to climb Everest this year. With that, fans will look forward to his recovery.
Why does the AEW star want to climb Mount Everest?
Darby Allin previously talked about his dream of climbing Mount Everest. However, many fans have wondered why the AEW star wants to climb Everest. Meanwhile, Allin earlier appeared for an interview with Steve Migs. During that, he stated why he wanted to go.
Allin said, “I’ve never climbed any mountains before. I wanted to go zero to 100. I wanted to show that the mind, the will to do something, is strong enough to where you don’t have to train for anything…If I’m the guinea pig to do crazy stuff to get more eyes on the company, let me be that guy. That’s why I want to climb Mount Everest.”

He added that he wanted to be the first wrestler to climb Everest, to go to space, and to do everything else. Allin further mentioned that he is not scared of anything and is a big, bad man. He said he has no fear, and he’s “totally at peace” if he dies at Mount Everest.
However, it seems there’s still time before Darby actually makes the climb. With that, fans will now look forward to more updates on his injury. Also, they will pray for the speedy recovery of their favorite star.
