Konnan has become a well-known name in the wrestling business over the past few decades, but it seems that the current WWE star, who’s working as part of AAA’s creative team, has been going through a personal battle with his health.
While speaking on the Coach and Bro Show, Vince Russo was able to give a health update on Konnan, noting that he has had to have his legs amputated.
Thanks for the submission!
“Konnan has gone through a double leg amputation. Yes, both legs. And I was smarted up on it. I knew he had the one leg amputated, and the second one was in question. That was the last time I talked to him, probably about two months ago. They had to remove the second one.”
Russo was able to give an update on his friend and noted that he had recently spoken to him following the procedure. Konnan was said to be weak and exhausted, so his friend Russo noted that he kept the conversation short with him.
“So I called Konnan yesterday. I didn’t talk to him long, man, because he’s very weak. He’s going through grueling rehabilitation, learning how to cope with it. I can’t even imagine that, like, we can’t imagine that. Konnan said to me that WWE has paid every single cent of his medical bills.”
WWE has ensured that Konnan has had the best medical care
Russo went on to explain that he believes he needs to make it public that WWE has paid over $1 million for Konnan’s medical bills.
So he really, really sounded exhausted. I’m like, ‘Brother, go relax, man. We’re praying for you, we love you and all that, but I do want to point this out.’ So he said, ‘Vince, WWE has paid every penny, and I was only working with them for a short time.’ Oh no, it’s, I think, well over a million dollars for something like that.”
Konnan was most recently working for the Stamford-based company as part of AAA after the company acquired the promotion back in 2025. He was seen on commentary as well as working for the creative team.
