A number of WWE Hall of Famers were in attendance for the big Monday Night Raw premiere on Netflix this week. Sean Waltman happened to be at the Intuit Dome for the show and fans couldn’t help but notice that Waltman appeared to be in great shape.
While speaking with Denise Salcedo of Instinct Culture, Sean Waltman was asked about a possible in-ring return, and he revealed that he’s been trying to get into better shape because he lost weight due to diverticulitis.
“No. I won’t beat around the bush, no. Then, watch, next thing you know I show up at Rumble or something. No, I was just trying to get in better shape. Earlier last year, I was in the hospital for eight days with diverticulitis. It almost killed me. I lost a bunch of weight, like thirty pounds. After that, I decided I was going to take everything a little more serious and get off my a**. I’ve been training every day and s***.
While talking about how he’s doing now Waltman said, “I’m doing great. (The recovery) was tough. It took a while to feel better. Now, I’m feeling good. It came back a little bit, but as soon as I noticed it, I was in the hospital right away. All that to say, I’m doing great now, but I had a rough time.”
In December of 2023, Kenny Omega revealed that he was dealing with diverticulitis which kept him sidelined for a significant amount of time. Waltman noted that Omega helped him while he was in the hospital as Omega texted the former European Champion and let him know what to expect.
