Update on Darby Allin’s AEW Status – As noted, Darby Allin was removed from the Continental Classic on the December 6 edition of AEW Collision, with Jack Perry stepping in as his replacement following Allin’s injury. The change altered the dynamic of the tournament, especially given Allin’s history of pushing through physical setbacks and competing at a high level regardless of the toll.

In a new interview with 93.7 The Fan, Allin gave an update on how he’s feeling during his recovery. Despite AEW keeping him sidelined for precautionary reasons, he made it clear that his body feels significantly better than many might expect. In his own words, “I feel [like] a million bucks right now, I’m not lying. I’m just not medically cleared, they’re saving me from me, which is fine, which is good. But at the end of the day, I feel amazing right now.”

Allin’s comments reflect his long-standing reputation as one of AEW’s most fearless and self-sacrificing performers. His willingness to take risks has often defined his style, and the company’s decision to keep him out of action underscores the importance of allowing injuries proper time to heal, even when the wrestler feels ready to return.

At this time, AEW has not announced a projected timeline for Allin’s return. With the Continental Classic moving forward and Perry now filling his spot, the tournament continues without one of its anticipated competitors. However, Allin’s positive physical outlook suggests that once doctors clear him, fans can expect his comeback to be emphatic.

Until then, Allin remains optimistic, and his recovery appears to be progressing well as he waits for the official clearance needed to resume in-ring competition.
