Davey Boy Smith Jr, son of WWE Hall of Famer the British Bulldog, signed a new contract with WWE back in 2021. He competed in just one dark match and was never heard from again. He has been competing in MLW since then and it appears he underwent emergency colon and appendix surgery.

It was recently announced that Davey Boy Smith Jr. was pulled from Saturday’s MLW Slaughterhouse event where he was set to challenge Alex Kane for the company’s World title.

The former WWE Superstar took to his Instagram and revealed that he was taken to the hospital expecting to have surgery for appendicitis, but that he also came to know that he was suffering from diverticulitis. Due to this, he needed to have a part of his colon removed as well.

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.
