"#ControlYourNarrative CAN KILL YOU. That's not strictly just an attention grabbing headline. It's more of an update.⁣ Short version; an infection I neglected proper care for, put other people's needs before mine, went straight empath, caught up to me, and broke me.⁣ Long version; it's extensive, I've been hospitalized 5 days and we'll need longer. Anyways I will heal, if you want to help drop a comment or a thought or affirmation.⁣ Please do not text. PLEASE.all I ask. If you want to help let me be alone." [sic]

Several wrestlers sent their wishes to EC3 for a full recovery

EC3 made it big in IMPACT Wrestling years ago and is a former TNA World Heavyweight Champion. He returned to WWE in 2018 and had a good run in NXT before moving to the main roster in early 2019.

EC3's WWE main roster run was a disaster as creative ultimately killed the momentum he had built in NXT, and he was relegated to being a lower-card act.

EC3 was released from the company last year due to WWE's budget cuts amid the COVID-19 pandemic. He has appeared for several promotions since his release.

The SK Wrestling community wishes the very best to EC3, and here's hoping he makes a full recovery soon.
