Alex Riley Set To Undergo Eye Surgery

Kiley Jr. has dealt with issues with his eyesight for a long time, and it made his professional wrestling career difficult for a long time. He had undergone two retina surgeries already, and while he had briefly turned to alternative therapies like chakra healing, he eventually grew tired of waiting around for a solution.

Recently, the former Alex Riley had his first singles match in nearly five years at the National Wrestling Alliance’s Nuff Said pay-per-view, where he faced off against EC3. He followed that up with another singles match at Create A Pro Wrestling one week later.

Despite his recent success in the ring, Kiley Jr.’s eye troubles persisted, and he realized that he needed to take a more pragmatic approach to addressing his condition. While speaking on The Tyrus and Timpf Podcast, Kiley Jr. revealed that he had decided to undergo eye surgery, which he had needed for quite some time.

In his quest to heal his eyes, Kiley Jr. had explored a variety of approaches, including chakra therapy, which focuses on clearing energetic blockages in the body to allow energy to flow more freely.

I had some eye issues and I’m going for surgery. I’m trying to combine the metaphysical and the physical here and I went to go see a doctor. I’m getting my eye surgery which I’ve needed for a while.

I had dealt with two retina surgeries already. So I was like, okay, well I don’t wanna do that again so I’m gonna get into the metaphysical and I’m gonna get into the chakras and then I did, okay, I’m just gonna do all chakras now and I’m just gonna read books and I’m gonna get very spiritual but you’re right, there’s a meeting in the middle… Exactly (too much of anything is bad). So I went to a doctor, doctor’s like, ‘You know what? I can help fix this eye. I can help fix your eye.’ So, that’s it and I’m grateful that I finally did and I’m not saying that it doesn’t work. I’m sure it does work but I was just kind of tired of waiting around.

Kiley Jr. will take part in the National Wrestling Alliance’s upcoming pay-per-view event, ‘312’, on April 7th. The event will be headlined by a match between Tyrus and Chris Adonis for the World Heavyweight Title. Despite the challenges he has faced, Kiley Jr. remains determined to overcome his health issues and achieve success both in and out of the ring.
