Davey Boy Smith Jr. undergoes emergency appendix & colon surgery

MLW's Davey Boy Smith Jr. has undergone emergency surgery to remove part of his appendix and colon according to a social media post. 

After it was announced Thursday that Smith was forced to withdraw from Saturday's MLW Slaughterhouse event where he was scheduled to challenge Alex Kane for the company's World title, Smith posted on Instagram that he had gone emergency surgery. 

Smith says that he went in to the hospital expecting to have surgery for appendicitis, but that he also discovered that he was suffering from diverticulitis and that part of his colon would have to be removed.

Smith posted on Instagram: 

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.
