A former WWE Superstar announced on social media today that they would be heading back to the hospital after undergoing surgery. The star in question was let go by WWE in 2020.

AEW star Maria Kanellis took to her X (fka Twitter) account today to share that she was heading back to the hospital. Kanellis recently disclosed that she had pheochromocytoma, a rare tumor in the adrenal gland, and has undergone surgery for the condition.

Unfortunately, Kanellis shared another update today and disclosed that she was heading back to the hospital as she was still experiencing severe pain and nausea and was unable to even stand straight without feeling discomfort. She said she was trying to stay positive despite the setback.

"Back to the hospital. Pain in my neck, spine and head has gotten substantially worse. I can’t stand up straight without pain and nausea. I just wanted to be done with issues. Trying to stay positive," she wrote.

Everyone at Rush has been amazing and so kind," she wrote.
