ROH World Champion Dalton Castle was unable to perform at last night's War of the Worlds: Lowell event due to injury.

Castle revealed to the fans that he's dealing with several nagging injuries, including back problems. His doctors reportedly told him basically that "his back is garbage" and that he's going to need to take time off to recover, otherwise his injuries will continue to get worse over time.

Castle made it clear that he does not wish to relinquish the ROH World Title. He wants to take the time off that he needs to recover, and then come back better than ever.
