Former WWE Superstar Abraham Washington, real name Brian Josie, went through a terrifying health ordeal last month that nearly took his life.
According to Duke Loves Rasslin, the ex-WWE talent was hospitalized in July 2025 and at one point had to be placed on life support. During the Duke Loves Rasslin podcast, host Duke shared the harrowing update:
Despite the scare, Josie managed to turn things around with the support of his longtime partner Marnay, who stayed by his side throughout the entire hospital stay.
Duke also revealed that Josie had just competed in a bodybuilding tournament prior to the health crisis, making the sudden turn even more alarming. Thankfully, the former WWE personality is now back home and recovering well.
Josie is best known for his time in WWE as the Abraham Washington character and as the original manager for the tag team Cryme Tyme. Fans can find him on Instagram under Brian Josie and are encouraged to send words of support as he continues healing.
Its a powerful reminder of how quickly things can changeeven for athletes in peak physical condition.
