SUMMARY
- AEW star Darby Allin was recently involved a bus accident.
- The accident resulted pretty bad for All Elite Wrestling, as Darby's absence time period from the company extended further.
AEW hasn’t been at his best in recent months, and as a result of it, the ratings and ticket sales have been pretty low, which is a big concern for Tony Khan. But it seems like things are getting worse for them, as one of their most loyal workers, Darby Allin has got seriously injured after being involved in an accident on the road.
According to reports, the 31-year-old in-ring star from All Elite Wrestling was hit by a bus after crossing the street in New York, and it left him with severe injuries. Despite the accident, Allin was still able to make it to a Broadway show with artist Raymond Pettibon, but the aftereffects of the unfortunate incident were visible.
It must be noted that the AEW pillar’s unfortunate vehicular collision isn’t the only issue he has faced in recent times, as he is also dealing with a broken foot that happened on the ‘Big Business’ edition of Dynamite. If that wasn’t enough of a problem, he was also seen having a potential broken nose in a recently shared picture on social media.

The audience took note of the 5-foot-8 performer’s nose injury after he shared a photo on his Instagram Stories in which his nose was heavily bandaged up. Amid both these issues, Darby’s admirers have been sharing their best wishes for a speedy recovery so that he can make a sensational return to All Elite Wrestling.

Pointing out how things could have been even worse, someone on X commented, “Damn 😭bro lucky to be alive.” “We live in a world where the safest place for Darby is the ring,” a professional wrestling fan said while sharing a sarcastic response to the news of Darby Allin’s injury.
Darby Allin is on a long hiatus from AEW
While fans have been pouring in their support for Darby Allin, he’s expected to be out of action for quite some time. But even before any of the injuries happened to him, the high-flying AEW performer was going to be on a long hiatus from the Jacksonville-based promotion.
Darby revealed this himself after teaming up with Sting during the veteran’s last in-ring match. The former TNT Champion made a major impact in the bout due to his high-flying skills, and during the post-show press conference, he talked about going on a break as he had been granted permission to climb Mount Everest.
Talking further about the same, the 31-year-old shared that he would be leaving for the trek in a few weeks, but his foot injury led to the postponement of this plan. Allin is now dealing with multiple injuries, and that’s why there’s no detailed information about his potential return. But looking at the kind of support he has been receiving on social media, Darby Allin is going to make an instant impact whenever he returns to All Elite Wrestling.
