On Thursday evening, Major League Wrestling announced that Davey Boy Smith Jr could not compete at the promotion’s Slaughterhouse event and was place on the injured reserve.
Smith Jr revealed on his Instagram that he underwent emergency surgery late Wednesday night for appendicitis and removal of his appendix. Smith further noted he then found out that he also had diverticulitis and needed part of his colon removed.
Smith Jr was originally scheduled to challenge Alex Kane for the MLW World Heavyweight Championship. Instead, it will be Tom Lawlor who will challenge Kane for the Title at the event, which will take place Saturday at 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, PA.
