25 Year Old Former WWE Star Needs Liver Transplant
A former WWE star has been forced to completely cut back on their wrestling schedule as they wait for a liver transplant.
Former WWE NXT UK star Millie McKenzie revealed on September 10th that she had been hospitalised due to ongoing liver issues.
Now taking to social media, McKenzie has issued a follow-up where she revealed the unfortunate news that she’s been forced to cut back on her wrestling schedule due to her condition, which will only ultimately improve when she receives a liver transplant:
Thank you everyone for the kind words. I am now out of hospital. For those that don’t know, I’ve lived with a rare form of liver disease all my life. Unfortunately it’s progressed much faster than expected meaning I will continue to deteriorate until I receive a liver transplant.
Because of this I have to completely cut back my wrestling schedule. Hopefully my liver will stabilise, which might allow to me continue wrestling in some form. I have to be extremely careful to not to push myself too much at the moment, while I’m trying to build my strength back up. This is not a decision I’ve made lightly, i wish things were different. I’ve wrestled since I was 14, it’s been my life. Hopefully I will see you all at a show soon.
