Maria Kanellis, a well-known wrestling star who has previously worked for WWE and currently appears for AEW and Ring of Honor, recently shared a health update with her fans. She had recently undergone surgery for an adrenal gland mass and had been keeping her fans informed about her health battle. However, just days after her surgery, she found herself back in the hospital.
In a recent selfie shared from her hospital bed, the 42-year-old superstar revealed that she had spent the night in the emergency room receiving different medications to help ease the pain. Despite the efforts, the pain was still unbearable and she was readmitted the next morning. She expressed her longing to be home with her kids, but was still in the hospital due to the intense pain she was experiencing.
This update came after she had previously mentioned that she was heading back to the hospital for a separate visit as the pain in her neck, spine, and head had worsened. She shared her struggles with standing and walking due to the pain and nausea, but remained positive in her outlook.
Maria had recently undergone surgery to remove an adrenal gland and a mass, which could potentially be a pheochromocytoma. She had also previously had half her thyroid removed in February last year. After her surgery, she shared that it went well and her bloodwork was looking good. However, they were still waiting for the biopsy results to determine the nature of the mass.
She affectionately referred to the mass as "Arnold" and mentioned that she may have to stay in the hospital for another night due to nausea and headaches caused by her blood pressure. She also expressed her gratitude towards the staff at Rush for their kindness and support.
Maria's husband Mike Bennett, who also wrestles for AEW, has been by her side throughout this health journey. On Friday night, Maria revealed that the tumour was hormone-producing, which explained her headaches and nausea. She also mentioned that she would be seeing a neurological physical therapist after her discharge from the hospital.
Maria first entered the world of wrestling in 2004 when she participated in the Diva Search. However, she had a scary moment during training when she landed on her chin while attempting a sunset flip on Mickie James. She shared this experience in an exclusive interview with The Agency in 2021, recalling how she thought she was paralyzed at the time.
