It has seemingly been a rough month for Stevie Richards. The former ECW and WWE Superstar has been out of the professional wrestling limelight in recent years, having last stepped inside the squared circle back in May 2019.

However, Richards was recently featured in the video game RetroMania Wrestling, which was released in February 2021 across multiple platforms.

Richards took to his Instagram page today to let his fans know that he's been going through some terrible health issues over the past month and that he'll be explaining what happened and documenting his road to recovery on his YouTube channel soon. He posted the following message on the social media app:

"The last 4 weeks, especially the last one, have really been something else. We aren’t quite at the finish line yet, but hopefully the road to recovery starts asap.I will be explaining what has happened and documenting my road to recovery on the YouTube channel as well as here.
