Davey Boy Smith Jr. was supposed to challenge Alex Kane for the MLW World Championship this Saturday at MLW Slaughterhouse.
However, Smith’s unfortunate injury derailed those plans and MLW replaced him with NJPW talent Tom Lawlor.
Smith took to Instagram on Thursday to update fans on his injury status. He wrote,
“I wanted to inform everyone officially I needed to have Emergency surgery. late last night for appendicitis + appendix removal, to find out it was diverticulitis as well. I have had part of colon removed with some of my appendix as well for the procedure. Folks this was one of the most painful experiences of my life, but I’m glad I got it done. A burst appendix can lead to serious complications too. I’m sad to announce my withdrawal from the @majorleaguewrestling World Title Match vs. Alex Kane this weekend in Philadelphia as well–. Hopefully I can get this same opportunity in the future when I’m back healthy, and so sorry to my fans, these things happen and was not something I ever want to endure again! Trust me! The was a 12/10 in the pain scale. Arigatou. I’m in stable condition now, but I am still in immense pain. I’ll keep everyone posted with updates.
Thanks for everyone reaching out to me also.
-Harry”
