Konnan’s health crisis has taken a new and brutal turn—this time, the second leg.
Earlier this year. in March 2026. reports emerged that the AAA Hall of Famer Konnan was hospitalized in San Diego. California. due to medical complications. It was then reported that one of his legs was amputated. Now, the latest update is even more severe: Konnan, 62, has reportedly been through a double leg amputation.
Vince Russo. speaking on The Coach & Bro Show. said he had learned of the development only recently and reached out to Konnan about two days in the timeline of his comments—without speaking for long. “Konnan has gone through a double leg amputation,” Russo said. “I knew he had the one leg amputated, and the second one was in question. That was the last time I talked to him, probably about two months ago. They had to remove the second one. So I called Konnan yesterday. I didn’t talk to him long, man. Because he’s very weak. He’s going through grueling rehabilitation.”.
Russo described what that call sounded like—less conversation, more exhaustion. “You know, learning how to — I can’t even imagine that. We can’t. You can’t imagine that. So he really, really sounded exhausted so I’m like, ‘Brother, go relax. We’re praying for you. we love you’ and all that but. I do want to point this out. ” he added.
The part of the story that Russo says Konnan made sure to emphasize was the financial side of the ordeal. Russo told listeners that Konnan said the WWE covered his medical costs in full. “Konnan said to me that the WWE has paid every single cent of his medical bills. Yeah. and that’s got to be pointed out and that’s got to be said… He said. ‘Vince. the WWE have paid every penny and I was only working with them for a short time.’”.
Russo also offered an estimate for the scale of the rehabilitation costs. He said his guess was that Konnan’s medical rehabilitation costs might exceed $1 million.
Before the hospitalization. Konnan was described as a regular part of WWE’s AAA brand. working as a color commentator alongside Corey Graves and JBL (John Bradshaw Layfield). For a performer who has spent decades in wrestling. the shift from the broadcast desk to hospital setbacks has been sudden and punishing—first with one amputation. and now with a second that leaves rehabilitation as the immediate focus.
In a situation like this. the details matter: the timeline that began in March 2026 with a San Diego hospitalization. the reported first leg amputation. and the new report that the second leg was removed after it had been “in question.” What remains constant is Konnan’s reported weakness. and the fact that. as described by Russo. he is now working through “grueling rehabilitation” while WWE-funded medical coverage is at the center of his message.

Double leg?? Jesus.
So Vince Russo is saying WWE paid everything? That’s wild, I didn’t think they cared that much. Also, how did it go from one leg to two like that?
Wait I thought he was in San Diego for “complications” and then they just amputated one? But apparently it’s double now. Maybe it was a bad infection thing?? idk, I’m not a doctor. Either way praying, he sounds like he’s at least got support.
WWE paid every cent… sure, but what about before that? like why wasn’t it caught earlier if it was such a serious medical issue. And the part where he sounded exhausted like he couldn’t even talk… that’s heartbreaking. I hate hearing this stuff because it always makes me think “was it the wrestling injuries” but then it’s probably something totally different.
