Alex Shelley was scheduled to compete at IMPACT Turning Point on October 27, but missed the show due to an "extremely pulled muscle in his calf."
Shelley would miss the rest of the UK tour.
Speaking to Cultaholic, Scott D'Amore gave an update on Shelley.
"He's going to need a little bit of rest and a little bit of time, but he's going to be more than healthy and ready before he needs to be in an IMPACT Wrestling ring, and it's going to be a good change for him to rest and recharge. Like this company and crew does, they rally around each other. Before I had a chance to turn my mind, talent was coming up and offering suggestions and one of them was Frankie Kazarian stepping up and saying, 'I'll step in and do double duty when needed. I still want to wrestle Leon Slater, but I'll circle back in the main event. I have history with the Machine Guns and I'll be happy to take Shelley's place and team with Sabin.' Everybody was turning their minds and a lot of people coming up, 'Hey, we can do this.' A guy like Frankie, who has been around 20 plus years and doesn't have to, but is like, 'I want to step up and fill that void and be part of a solution.' That's truly amazing," said D'Amore.
It is unknown when Shelley will return to the ring.
