5 WWE Superstars who are struggling with health conditions

#2. WWE Superstar Kyle O'Reilly

Former NXT Tag Team Champion Kyle O'Reilly is another WWE Superstar struggling with a health condition. The 34-year-old has type one diabetes. He has revealed that doctors have told him a career in pro wrestling would be impossible. However, he proved them wrong, becoming one of the most accomplished superstars on WWE's third brand.

Nearly two years ago, the former member of The Undisputed Era opened up about his struggles in an Instagram post. He disclosed that he wears a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) on his arm to track his blood sugar levels, allowing him to compete in WWE and track his condition simultaneously:

"I know how hard it can be living with diabetes. Injecting insulin or constantly stabbing your finger to test your blood at what always seems to be the prime inopportune moment. There are so many variables that make living with this disease difficult and every day is a struggle to maintain healthy blood sugars (...) CGM become a part of my life has really changed the game for me. I know how self conscious one can be with pump wires hanging out of your shirt or having to draw and inject insulin in the middle of a crowded restaurant, but that’s life."

O'Reilly is currently a regular competitor on NXT 2.0. He recently joined forces with Von Wagner to defeat Brooks Jensen and Josh Briggs.
