From Smith Jr:
I wanted to officially let everyone know that late last night I had to undergo emergency surgery for appendicitis and an appendectomy, which turned out to also be diverticulitis. –Part of my colon and part of my appendix were also removed for surgery——. Guys, this was one of the most painful experiences of my life, but I’m glad I made it through. A ruptured appendix can also cause serious complications. I regret to announce that I have withdrawn from the @majorleaguewrestling vs. Alex Cain world title match this weekend in Philadelphia. I hope to have similar opportunities in the future when I return to good health. We apologize to our fans, but things like this happen and we never wanted to endure it again. trust me! It was a 12/10 on the pain scale. thank you. Her condition is stable now, but she is still in severe pain. —–We will inform you of the latest information.
Thank you everyone for contacting me.
