Elayna Black had to deal with a lot of things during her career in WWE but she has now revealed that she almost lost her life following an ectopic pregnancy a couple of years ago.
While speaking on the Ariel Helwani Show, Elayna Black revealed that in late January 2023, she was supposed to wrestle Lyra Valkyria on TV. But the night before, she had to go to emergency surgery because she was very sick. She had an ectopic pregnancy that burst, causing her to bleed inside. She was almost dying and needed surgery right away.
Elayna Black stated that she went to the hospital thinking she just had to get through the match. At first, they said she had to wait 11 hours, but she told them she couldnt wait. They checked her and took her straight to surgery. She explained that she had an IUD birth control, which usually works 99% of the time.
But it can cause ectopic pregnancies where the baby grows outside the uterus in the Fallopian tube, which is very dangerous. She was scared of this happening and trusted her feelings when she knew something was wrong. During surgery, the doctors had to remove her left Fallopian tube.
Black added that she felt sad about missing Stand and Deliver that year. She didnt know how much this would affect her. After she came back, she felt very depressed, more than ever before in her life. She called a WWE doctor and told them she needed help because she wasnt okay.
Black later found out she had very bad postpartum depression. At 22 years old, it was a really hard and crazy time for her. She didnt know how much it would affect her mind, and she knew she needed to take time off to get better.
Elayna Black revealing such a personal thing about her life just shows how open she is about what she went through and fans are just happy to see that she made a full recovery. After all, the pregnancy could have been fatal due to the internal bleeding but thankfully, she pulled through.
