5 Current WWE Superstars who struggle with health conditions

#4. Former WWE Champion Daniel Bryan - Vitiligo

Daniel Bryan has had quite the WWE career in recent years, as his return from an early retirement has been a remarkable journey. He has defied the odds and added another world title to his impressive résumé.

But Bryan struggled with his own personal demons throughout this period, and the star revealed that he struggled with Vitiligo.

Alberto Del Rio returning to WWE?

Members of the WWE Universe may not be familiar with the condition, but it's an autoimmune disease that affects the skin and causes it to lose its color pigment. Many people who suffer from the condition see patches of their skin become white, and it can also cause some hair loss. Vitiligo is not lethal, but it is a noticable ailment. It is manageable, but the patches can continue to form indefinitely.

@tarynlove77 It's vitiligo, not any artificial patch, which is an autoimmune disease you can look up on Wikipedia.

Bryan has persevered, and he has continued to perform on WWE's main roster since his return in 2018. He also recently joined the company's creative team backstage, and he welcomed the second of his two children into the world.
