WWE legend undergone double leg amputation

Earlier this year, in Mar. 2026, reports emerged that AAA Hall of Famer Konnan was hospitalized in San Diego, California, due to medical complications. It was further reported that one of his legs was amputated.

Konnan, 62, has been reportedly going through a trying time health-wise; however, as per Vince Russo, his financials have been taken care of. Just months after his first leg amputation, it has now been reported that the veteran needed to have his other leg amputated as well. Former WWE and WCW writer Vince Russo shared on The Coach & Bro Show that he recently discovered Konnan’s amputation news and checked up on him.

“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.

“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,” Russo further added. “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.’”

Estimates from Russo suggested that Konnan’s medical rehabilitation costs might exceed $1 million. Before his hospitalization, Konnan was a regular part of WWE’s AAA brand and worked as the color commentator with Corey Graves and JBL (John Bradshaw Layfield).
