\u201cKonnan has gone through a double leg amputation,\u201d Russo said this week. \u201cI 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\u2019t talk to him long, man. Because he\u2019s very weak. He\u2019s going through grueling rehabilitation. You know, learning how to \u2014 I can\u2019t even imagine that. You can\u2019t imagine that. So he really, really sounded exhausted.\u201d<\/p>\n
Russo told Konnan that everyone is praying for him and loves him. In their conversation, Konnan shared that WWE has paid for all of his medical expenses<\/p>\n
\u201cKonnan said to me that the WWE has paid every single cent of his medical bills,\u201d Russo said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s got to be pointed out and that\u2019s got to be said.\u201d<\/p>\n
With Konnan going through months of rehab, Russo estimated that his bills could have been well over $1 million.<\/p>\n
Konnan\u2019s WWE\/AAA role \u2014<\/p>\n
Konnan is grateful that WWE is covering these expenses despite him only having worked for the company for a short amount of time. He very briefly competed for WWE during his wrestling career but is now with the promotion following WWE\u2019s acquisition of AAA. He works behind the scenes in AAA creative and has done commentary. Before the WWE acquisition, Konnan was AAA\u2019s booker.<\/p>\n
