Hopefully It's Not As Bad As It Sounds. Current WWE Star Undergoes A Health Scare.

Hopefully it isn’t as bad as it sounds. Contrary to what you may think, wrestlers are humans just like us. They perform in the ring almost every single week and that can wear down their bodies and health. Over time they have a variety of issues of their own and sometimes they need a little breather. That was the case for someone in WWE as of late, and it seems to have been somewhat serious.

Carmella recently made a post on Instagram, talking about an unspecified recent health scare. While she does not go into details about what happened, Carmella does mention that it made her stop for the first time in a long time as she has never missed any significant ring time due to injury. Carmella has not wrestled since July 29, though she has made the occasional appearances helping R-Truth dealing with the 24/7 Title. There is no word on when she will be back on television.

I recently had a health scare that shook my world. I was super apprehensive (still am) to post about it because I’m not looking for any sort of sympathy. Instead, I wanted to share what this past month has taught me. You might find my perception to be trivial and unimportant, but these are my thoughts. – For the first time in six years I was forced to slow down. I’ve never had an injury with time off or anything of the sort since I started with WWE. I was able to slow down for a few weeks and just be. It opened my mind and my eyes to the world I didn’t notice for six years and allowed me to be present instead of worrying about the next thing on my to do list. – I took a break from social media and it really allowed me to live in the moment and see what was right in front of me. I had conversations with people I would have normally never seen because my head would be buried in my phone. More importantly, social media is not real. The fact that I at one point or another would get bothered by a few crass comments made by presumptuous ill mannered trolls makes me laugh now. It’s all so insignificant at the end of the day. Do these trolls care about my health and well being? Are they the ones who will be there for me when shit hits the fan? Hell no. So why would I care what people on an app in my phone have to say about me? ?? – I spent time with the most important people in my life. In a world where I’m constantly on the road, I rarely get more than a few hours with those who matter most to me. I’m grateful I was able to spend so much time with my sister and my parents who are my world. I was also constantly laughing with my boyfriend who is the most supportive man on the planet. I truly don’t know what I would do without him. ? – Things can and will go wrong, regardless of how healthy your lifestyle is. It’s important to feed our bodies with happy thoughts, clean and healthy foods and all of the positive vibes. – Let’s all try to be a little better as humans. Everyone we meet is going through SOMETHING. Be nice. Life is short. Hug your family, laugh more, let the little things go, buy the shoes and drink the wine. ?

Carmella can be hilarious with R-Truth. Check out one of their wacky shenanigans:

Opinion: I’m not sure what Carmella was talking about but if it was something that had to take her off television for such an extended period of time, it had to be something serious. Hopefully it is nothing all that bad and she is healthy, meaning that she will be able to come back sooner rather than later. At least she seems fine enough to somewhat talk about it, which would seem to be a good sign.
