<p>WCW legend and Mexican Wrestler Konnan has been hospitalized and has reportedly tested positive for COVID-19. An updated report states that he has been discharged.</p>



<p>The Wrestling Observer Radio’s Dave Meltzer had reported that the 57-year old Konan was hospitalized. Meltzer said that the hospitalization was brought about by kidney issues and that it was “serious”, but he did not provide further details.</p>



<p>The Wrestling Observer Newsletter later reported that Konnan was released from the hospital on February 18th. He provided a short comment to let everyone know what was really going on. Things were apparently not good for a bit, but they have cleared up now.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>&#8220;Was very sick last week was bedridden for three days, I got COVID went to hospital and my kidneys were failing.&#8221;</p></blockquote>



<p>Konnan had a kidney transplant back in 2007. At the time, Konnan said that he believed that the painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs that he had to take during the course of his career had ruined his kidneys. He also had a hip replacement surgery back in 2018.</p>



<p>Another report, this time from Lucha Libre Online’s Twitter, stated that Konnan was positive for COVID-19. They got the news from AAA announcer Hugo Savinovich.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“Konnan has confirmed to us that he, unfortunately, tested positive for COVID-19, which is why he is hospitalized,” reads a translation of the Tweet which is in Spanish.</p></blockquote>



<p>There is no mention of Konnan’s kidneys on the Lucha Libre Online Tweet, but given that Konnan has had a transplant, he could be considered “at-risk” as kidney problems can weaken one’s immune system.</p>
