While private on his health battles, Konnan has had a history of prolonged health conditions from receiving a kidney transplant in 2007 following organ failure, to contracting COVID-19 in February of 2021, which caused more complications with his kidneys, resulting in heart failure, to undergoing major orthopedic surgeries, such as a hip replacement in 2007.
