What’s the story?

Shane McMahon has taken to social media so as to provide fans an update on his health status.

Apparently, McMahon asserted that he’s recovering well. Besides, Shane O’Mac also expressed his gratitude for the outpour of good wishes & support from the WWE Universe.

In case you didn’t know…

Shane McMahon recently stepped down from his role as the SmackDown Live Commissioner and was then attacked by Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn.

Although McMahon was initially expected to compete in a match on the upcoming WrestleMania 34 card, he seemingly flew to the Caribbean with his family for a vacation.

The heart of the matter

The WWE recently revealed on its official website that Shane McMahon was hospitalized after he suffered an infection owing to acute diverticulitis—something that is said to have surfaced during his aforementioned family vacation.

McMahon was transported to a local medical facility, following which he was flown back to New York, and is presently hospitalized and being administered a heavy dosage of antibiotics.

Furthermore, the WWE also noted that McMahon suffered an umbilical hernia after being attacked by Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn on a recent edition of SmackDown Live—with doctors noting that the injury would require Shane to undergo surgery, that would only be possible after his infection subsides.

Regardless of his medical issues, McMahon seems to be optimistic about his health and posted a photo alongside his children on Instagram with the following caption—“Thank you everyone for the get well wishes. It truly helps. Im healing up, and I have the best medicine in the world with me.”

What’s next?

The vast majority of professional wrestling experts believed that Shane McMahon & Daniel Bryan are set to compete against Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn in a Tag Team Match at WrestleMania 34.

However, with WrestleMania taking place on April 8th, a little more than a week away, the aforementioned matchup could be in jeopardy.

Author’s take

Shane McMahon is a true fighter, an excellent martial artist, and someone who takes everything in his stride.

Considering that McMahon is well-trained in the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), and is no stranger to physical challenges given his matches in WWE, it’s safe to say that Shane O’Mac will be back in the gym very soon.

Sportskeeda wishes Shane McMahon a safe & speedy recovery.
