Konnan Underwent Double Leg Amputation, WWE Took Care Of Medical Bills

An update on Konnan.

In early March 2026, it was reported that AAA Hall of Famer Konnan was hospitalized in San Diego, California, due to medical complications, and one of his legs was amputated.

An update on Konnan was provided by Vince Russo during a recording of The Coach and Bro! show. Russo shared details of a phone call he had with Konnan, and it was relayed to him that Konnan underwent a double leg amputation. He also shared that WWE took care of Konnan’s medical bills.

“You know, Konnan, I’ve known Konnan forever and Konnan, man, he had my back at WCW in 1999 and I’ll never forget that. Konnan has gone through a double leg amputation. Yes, both legs and you know, I was smartened up on it. 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, 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. 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.’”

Before his hospitalization, Konnan was working with WWE’s Lucha Libre AAA brand and served as the color commentator alongside Corey Graves and J.B.L. (John Bradshaw Layfield). The current AAA commentary team is Graves, JBL, and AAA General Manager Rey Mysterio.
