AEW star Darby Allin‘s Mt. Everest trip has been postponed … ’cause the wrestler broke three bones in his foot right before he was slated to make the climb.
TMZ Sports has learned … Allin suffered the injury less than two minutes into his match against “Switchblade” Jay White at AEW Dynamite on Wednesday … when he attempted a front flip off the top rope.
It goes without saying his landing didn’t play out like it was supposed to … and he made awkward contact with the floor, which caused his dog to snap.
Allin was clearly bothered … and briefly held his foot before limping back up.
Instead of calling it a night, the badass highflyer proceeded to wrestle in his first-ever match against White for 10 more minutes … continuing to jump off the top rope and going about his business.
Ultimately he was pinned after running into a Blade Runner from White.
The ironic part — during the match, Allin had his ankle “broken” at the hands of Bullet Club Gold so he could have enough time away from the squared-circle to tackle Everest.
Of course, Allin was already pretty beat up — he shredded his back after flipping off a ladder and falling through glass in his retirement match with Sting.

Allin previously told us how stoked he was to make the Mt. Everest climb — despite not having a ton of experience (he only trained six months), he was given the green light to do it.

Now he’ll be sidelined for a bit … but is making the most of it — he tells us Tony Hawk is planning to do a trick off his cast next week for charity!!
You got lucky, Everest … ’cause Darby is coming for that ass next year.
