A popular AEW star has just sent a heartfelt message to another fan-favorite on the roster after an unfortunate announcement was made regarding them earlier today. They are set to miss out on this year's Continental Classic.Darby Allin has been absent from the company for almost two weeks now. It was reported that he was under observation at a medical facility following his previous match with Kevin Knight. Earlier tonight, it was revealed that he was no longer cleared for the Continental Classic and will be replaced by 'Jungle' Jack Perry as a member of the Gold League of the tournament.'Speedball' Mike Bailey, who is also in the Gold League, reacted to the news and mentioned how he was looking forward to sharing the ring with Darby during the tournament. He wished him a speedy recovery as well. Speedball has his sights set on the top spot of the tournament, as there is still no telling what could happen. He has only competed in one match so far, which was a loss to PAC. See his post below."I was truly looking forward to being in the ring with @DarbyAllin and I hope he returns to @AEW very soon. The top spot is still up for grabs and I will stop at absolutely nothing to win the Continental Classic. See you real soon, Jack Perry. #AEWCollision"Reason why Darby Allin was not cleared by AEWThere was great confusion regarding Darby Allin's situation, as he has been known as someone who has always put his body on the line, but has still been an active competitor despite everything.In a recent edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it was mentioned that Allin has been dealing with a head injury that resulted from a single blow and not wear and tear. This was said to have happened during his match with Kevin Knight, but there is no information on the specific spot where this took place.WrestlePurists @WrestlePuristsLINKDarby Allin’s recent injury is a head injury. It was a singular blow and not wear and tear. It was not from Kevin Knight’s coast-to-coast dropkick. What spot it happened in wasn’t confirmed. He was in the hospital at one point but was released and was able to fly home. AEWThere is no information regarding his potential injury timeline. But seeing as he has been ruled out of the Continental Classic, it is safe to assume that fans won't get to see him for the rest of 2025.
