“I have been in the ER and hospital for over 50 hours,” Perry wrote on Monday. “The infection has gotten worse and I’m going into surgery tonight. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I love you all”
Perry announced on Saturday that she had been hospitalized for an infection that started in her little finger and spread up her arm. The infection caused Perry to miss CMLL’s Arena Mexico event on Friday and AEW Collision on Saturday. Perry was supposed to make her CMLL debut at Friday’s event, accompanying Andrade El Idolo for his first CMLL match since 2015.
Perry apologized for having to miss the shows and stated that she looks forward to still debuting in CMLL with Andrade.
Perry is Andrade’s manager in AEW. A feud between Andrade and Miro has been building since Andrade became Perry’s first managerial client.
