Schwarzenegger is a household name all over the world. Besides his work in WWE, Schwarzenegger is a movie icon and a former governor of California.
We can confirm that Schwarzenegger is now in a stable condition after having open-heart surgery in Los Angeles.
The surgery came about after Schwarzenegger suffered complications during a catheter valve replacement. The open-heart procedure reportedly lasted several hours.
Schwarzenegger spokesperson Daniel Ketchell took to Twitter to update those worried about the former governor on what his condition.
He noted that Schwarzenegger’s first words upon waking up were actually “I’m back,” a reference to the blockbuster “Terminator” films that really made him an icon in the first place.

Ketchell noted that the procedure to remove the original pulmonic valve was planned. The original valve was replaced back in 1997 due to a congenital heart defect and was never expected to be permanent.
We here at Wrestling Rumors would like to wish Schwarzenegger good luck in his recovery from the emergency surgery and hope that he is back in full health sooner rather than later. He can’t miss ‘WrestleMania,’ can he?
