I went to the hospital on Thursday night and was told I needed emergency surgery on my neck and back. I never thought something like this would ever happen. I’m still processing everything, but I will be okay. pic.twitter.com/LbRO0mPfww

Corino continued in the replies, noting that he doesn’t know what this means for the future of his wrestling career, but that his main goal is to be able to pick up his son again.

I don’t know if I’ll be in a wrestling ring anytime soon, but at this point, I just want to be able to pick up my son again.

I’m not looking forward to this long road of recovery, but I pray that my family and I make it through it

I ask that you respect me and my family’s privacy for now and not taking it personally if I do not get back to you. I appreciate everyone who’s reached out and love you all.
