Updated Timeline For Dalton Castle's AEW Return

AEW star Dalton Castle has provided an update on when he expects to return from injury.

Speaking with Alison Rosen is Your New Best Friend, Castle confirmed that he suffered a torn biceps during his match with Roderick Strong on the July 10 edition of Collision, saying:

"I 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".

When asked when he might return to the ring, Castle said: "We're projecting end of the year. I'm thinking January, I'm back".

On whether or not the injury was Strong's fault, he added:

"No, the injury wasn't his fault. He just didn't back down after it. We were friends, I thought we were friends, me and this guy. I was like, 'Hey, I need a second'. He's like, 'No, no timeouts'. I don't want to get into it. I try not to think about it too much. The time off sucks. I'm 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 I'll have to watch it. Then I get sucked in and get excited. I recognize that I'm still very much hurt and I get angry. It's this rollercoaster cycle of emotions. It's real fun".
