WWE icon, The Undertaker, real name Mark Calaway, had to undergo emergency heart surgery earlier this year, just a day after WrestleMania, his wife Michelle McCool has revealed.
The chilling revelation came during an episode of the couple’s Six Feet Under podcast, where McCool opened up about her emotional WWE Hall of Fame induction in April.
“I was almost in tears when people asked how I was doing,” McCool said. “They thought it was just the emotions of the speech, but it was because of the heart issues you [Undertaker] had been having.”
She continued: “It ended up being terrifying. The day we got home from WrestleMania, the next morning at 6 a.m., we were at the hospital for heart surgery.”
The Undertaker, 59, retired in 2020 after a legendary three-decade career with WWE and remains active in the wrestling world through his podcast and appearances.
