AEW star Dalton Castle appeared on the โAlison Rosen is Your New Best Friendโ podcast to talk about a number of topics, including his torn bicep injury and when he is expected to be back in action.
Castle said, โI tore my bicep. That was back in July. It was the last match I had. The guy I was wrestling, it was just a freak accident. It hurt. I was freaking out. The guy I was wrestling took a cheap shot at me or advantage of the situation. It sucks. I was supposed to go hiking the next day. I lost the match. I lost my hiking trip. Now, I spend every day in physical therapy, and on the weekends, I go antiquing. No, the injury wasnโt his fault. He just didnโt back down after it. We were friends, I thought we were friends, me and this guy. I was like, โHey, I need a second.โ Heโs like, โNo, no timeouts.โ I donโt want to get into it. I try not to think about it too much. The time off sucks. Iโm just focusing on enjoying the time off and working on getting better. Not watching wrestling and keeping my mind off it. Then, my friends will do something cool and Iโll have to watch it. Then I get sucked in and get excited. I recognize that Iโm still very much hurt and I get angry. Itโs this rollercoaster cycle of emotions. Itโs real fun. Weโre projecting end of the year. Iโm thinking January, Iโm back.โ
