Saraya Shares Her Painful Journey with Ectopic Pregnancy

Saraya is considered a pioneer in professional wrestling and has accomplished a lot in the industry for women’s wrestling in general, but she has had to go through a lot of health issues over the years. In fact, Saraya has now shared her harrowing experience of dealing with ectopic pregnancy.

While speaking on an episode of Broad Ideas with Rachel Bilson & Olivia Allen, Saraya shared a deeply personal and harrowing experience regarding her ectopic pregnancy. Saraya, who is in a relationship with Ronnie Radke, recounted how she faced a life-threatening medical emergency while Radke was on tour.

Saraya described the terrifying ordeal when she suddenly experienced severe abdominal pain and heavy bleeding, which led her to crawl on the floor in distress. At the time, Radke was away, and due to the presence of cameras around their home for security reasons, he was able to see her condition through the surveillance footage. Upon realizing the gravity of the situation, Radke called an ambulance and flew home immediately.

In a frantic state, Saraya managed to crawl out of the front door, only to find herself locked out. The paramedics, initially hesitant due to their fear of Saraya’s pit bull, Lobster, suggested she crawl through the doggy door to let them in. Despite the intense pain and blood loss, Saraya complied, and the paramedics were able to enter and assist her.

‘‘I do (want kids). I actually went through an ectopic pregnancy before with him (Ronnie Radke). It scared the sh*t out of him too because — let me tell you this f*cking story. These freaking doctors. They scare the sh*t out of you for no reason. So Ronnie’s on tour and we had cameras all around the house, inside the house because at this point, there’s fans, his fans and my fans that kept finding us so we were just like, ‘Cameras all over the house.’ They were insane and so luckily, we did have ‘em though because Ronnie was on his last day of the tour and luckily, it was somewhere like San Diego. Pretty close, right? And I just got this awful pain in my stomach and then all of a sudden, all this blood started coming out and I couldn’t even stand up.

My stomach ballooned up. It was really bad and so I was crawling on the floor and I was screaming and there was no one there. I was like, I don’t know what the f*ck is gonna happen. So Ronnie saw that I wasn’t answering the phone, looked on the cameras, saw me on the f*cking ground, calls an ambulance, books a flight, comes directly home but the ambulance comes and then I crawl myself out the front door and I’m puking too. It was insane. It was just every hole was like — it was terrifying. I crawl out, the door closes behind me and it locks so I’m like, ‘Oh f*ck. I can’t get back in again.’ So then the ambulance people come, the doctors come and they try and go around the back and then they saw I have Lobster. Lobster is a pit bull, so they were too scared to go inside. They were like, ‘Do you think you can crawl through the doggy door?’ And I’m like… So I crawl through the doggy door, bleeding. There’s a lot of blood by the way. There was a lot of blood. I crawl through, I unhook the door because they needed to get my I.D. and everything like that. Whatever it is they needed to get from me… (In those circumstances, they could have taken me).

At the hospital, Saraya was placed in a hallway before being rushed into a room where she underwent a painful examination. Initially unaware of her pregnancy due to her endometriosis, Saraya was devastated when informed by a student medic that she was experiencing an ectopic pregnancy, which led her to fear for her life. The medic’s vague reassurance did little to calm her fears.

Later, another doctor arrived and clarified that while she was having an ectopic pregnancy, she was stable and would need surgery to address the issue. This reassurance helped alleviate some of Saraya’s anxiety. After the surgery, Saraya stayed overnight at the hospital. Radke, eager to have her home, wheeled her out as soon as he could, despite hospital policies.

”Straight to the hospital. It was bad so it started off kind of wacky. So then I get there and they put me in a little hallway while I’m just bleeding out and then they rush me into this room, I have people everywhere. This woman that’s going into my freaking crotch trying to clean everything out, trying to see, you know? And I’m just in pain and screaming… No (I didn’t know I was pregnant). No. I had no idea. With endometriosis, they told me that it would be really difficult to even have kids in the first place. So, I had no idea. So then this doctor — I’ve been there for a couple of hours at this point. Ronnie finally gets here — well, just before he gets here actually because I call him about this. But the female doctor was like, ‘Yeah, something bad is happening. It’s like an ectopic pregnancy’ and I was like, ‘Oh my God! Am I gonna die!?’ And she was just like, ‘It’s okay to cry’ and I’m like, ‘Oh my God!’ I was like, ‘What does that mean? Am I gonna die?’ And I call Ronnie, I was like, ‘I think I’m gonna die. I’m having ectopic pregnancy’ and he’s crying and she’s not telling me I’m not gonna die. She’s just like, ‘It’s okay to cry, it’s okay’ and I’m like, ‘Oh my God’ and I’m freaking out. So, she leaves and then a couple hours later, Ronnie’s here.

This other doctor comes in. I was like, ‘You’re a different doctor’ and she was just like, ‘How you doing?’ And I’m like, ‘Well, I’m gonna die.’ She’s like, ‘No, you’re not.’ She was like, ‘What are you talking about?’ She was like, ‘You’re here, you’re fine… but you’re having an ectopic pregnancy so we just have to get you into surgery, get everything fixed’ but she was like, ‘You’re fine.’ She was like, ‘Why do you think you’re gonna die?’ I was like, ‘That woman…’ She was like, ‘That’s a student medic. She shouldn’t have even said anything to you. She’s not allowed to give you diagnosis, she’s not allowed to do any of these things so she shouldn’t be even talking to you…’ So then, I feel better, I go into surgery pretty much then and there. Come out, I stay there overnight, everything’s fine. Ronnie wasn’t allowed to stay and luckily, the hospital’s really close to our house at the time. Actually, it wasn’t too far from here. We used to live around here too and so, he comes back in the morning and he didn’t wanna wait for them to come and see if I was okay so he puts me in the wheelchair and just runs me out of the hospital to our house. I was like, ‘That’s fine. Just get me out of here. I f*cking hate hospitals’ but he hates hospitals too. He’s like, ‘You’re fine’ and I’m like, ‘I don’t know. My ass. It’s just hanging out,’ you know? (She laughed).”

Thankfully, Saraya is in great health now and is currently determined to compete at All In next month one way or the other. Nonetheless, Saraya’s nightmare experience truly affected her, but her experience will likely help out those who have suffered in similar situations.
