Ex-WWE Star Gangrel Undergoes Total Hip and Knee Replacements

Gangrel, the legendary member of The Brood from WWE’s Attitude Era, is still making waves in the world of professional wrestling. But behind the scenes, the vampire warrior has been quietly facing some major health battles. After years of action and intense matches, Gangrel’s body has taken its fair share of punishment—and now he’s sharing that he recently underwent significant surgeries.

The wrestling icon took to Twitter to break the news to his fans, revealing why he’s been keeping a low profile. “I’ve been hanging low last 4 months, reason is I had a total hip replacement 3 months ago and 3 weeks ago a total knee replacement,” Gangrel, 54, shared. The pro wrestling star assured his followers, “I’m on my way back up and feeling good!”

Gangrel’s revelation comes as no surprise to those who know the grind of professional wrestling. Years of putting his body on the line for the thrill of the crowd have taken their toll. But true to form, the resilient grappler is ready to come back stronger than ever. Fans will remember his surprise appearance at AEW’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view earlier this year, where he helped Adam Copeland (fka Edge) secure a victory over Malakai Black, proving he’s still got it when it counts.

Supporters are sending well-wishes as Gangrel takes time to recover from his surgeries. It’s clear that even with decades in the ring, the wrestling world’s favorite vampire isn’t ready to hang up his boots just yet.
