Injured and out of action for a few weeks, a latest update has emerged on AEW star Darby Allin's injury. Ruled out of the Continental Classic tournament after his bout against Kevin Knight, he is now close to his in-ring return.
Spoilers ahead (via Fightful):
During the recent tapings for AEW Christmas Collision, a major update cleared the cloud around his in-ring status. Taped at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, the Christmas Collision episode will feature Allin announcing that he has been cleared for in-ring competition. However, he would soon be attacked by Gabe Kidd.
Shortly after, Kidd challenged Darby Allin for a match at Worlds End on Dec. 27, 2025. Later on in the episode, Allin would appear and accept Kidd's challenge and confirm their match for Worlds End.
