The latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports [and BTW, his own podcast did, which is what made me make this thread....not a dirtsheet] that Konnan is now having significant kidney issues and is in search of a kidney donor. This is now the second time this year Konnan has been seeking a kidney transplant, with word spreading in January that Konnan was in need of a transplant and that he had found a donor. It's unclear whether that fell through, or if Konnan now needs another transplant. Around that time, Konnan also underwent surgery on his heart.
The 58-year-old had his first kidney transplant back in 2007, while he was still an active wrestler for AAA, but was forced to take medication after his body rejected it. Kidney issues brought on by COVID-19 also hospitalized Konnan back in 2021. Wrestling Inc. reached out to Konnan for comment who confirmed his current status and noted that he was feeling very weak these days. Konnan is scheduled with upcoming commitments — including AAA's upcoming events in Tempe, Arizona and Acupulco, Guerrero, Mexico – in December; there's no telling if they will be affected by his current ailment.
