Maria Kanellis readmitted to hospital following adrenal gland surgery

Maria Kanellis is back in the hospital just a few days after having surgery.

Last Thursday, Kanellis underwent surgery for a mass on her adrenal gland. She was able to go home on Saturday but was back in the emergency room on Sunday due to pain and nausea she was experiencing. Kanellis had pain in her neck, spine, and head and could not stand up straight without getting nauseous.

“Spent the night in the emergency room receiving different cocktails of drugs including anti-nausea, morphine, caffeine/ibuprofen, magnesium, etc trying to make me comfortable,” she shared this morning. “Then, they re-admitted me this morning because they could not control the pain, at 4:00am. I’m having trouble walking and standing because of the pain. I miss my kids and I am ready to be home but here I am.”

The mass on Kanellis’ adrenal gland was found this July. With surgery done last week, a biopsy was performed to determine what the mass is and whether it is cancerous or not. She’s expected to get results 7-10 days after the biopsy.

Kanellis debuted for AEW in 2022 and has been featured as a manager in ROH. Her AEW contract is scheduled to expire at the end of this month.
